The Lakers have shut down point guard Lonzo Ball for the remainder of the season, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The decision comes after Ball had his left ankle re-evaluated by doctors and Saturday, reports Charania.
He has been out with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain since suffering the injury on Jan. 19 when he collided with the Rockets' James Harden. Ball left the game in the third quarter after the collision and was originally projected to only miss four to six weeks. When evaluated in late February, it was determined that Ball still needed more time to recover before returning.
