Lonzo Ball returns to Lakers lineup for preseason game

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Lonzo Ball will return to the court and play alongside LeBron James for the first time this preseason on Wednesday against Golden State.

Ball, who has been eased back into action by the Lakers after undergoing surgery for a torn left meniscus, said he will come off the bench.

Ball could play between 10-to-30 minutes when the Lakers and Warriors meet in Las Vegas, according to head coach Luke Walton. If all goes well, Ball expects to also play in the Lakers preseason finale, also against Golden State, in San Jose.
