Lonzo Ball (knee) sitting for Lakers on Saturday in second half of back-to-back
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will not play on Saturday night against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Lakers head coach Luke Walton said Ball's knee "responded well" on Friday in his first game back after missing over a month, but the rookie will be held out tonight as a precaution on the second half of a back-to-back set. He should return to action on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.
Lonzo is averaging 33.5 FanDuel points per game this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.8 3-pointers per game.
