Lonzo Ball (knee) logs 23 minutes for Pelicans in return
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball played 23 minutes versus the Utah Jazz on Tuesday in his first game back from a three-game absence for a knee injury.
Ball scored 7 points (3-of-10 field goals, 1-of-2 free throws) with 1 rebound, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block while playing in 5-6 minute stretches. He missed all six attempts from beyond the arc on Tuesday night but is still averaging 2.0 3-pointers per game on the year. Ball should see a little more action on Thursday in a rematch against the Jazz.
Lonzo scored 23.2 FanDuel points on Tuesday. The Jazz are allowing the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season, so Ball will face a stiff challenge again Thursday even with more minutes.
