Lakers' Lonzo Ball (ankle) plans to play in Thursday's season opener
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball said that he expects to play on Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Ball missed the majority of preseason with an ankle injury, but he plans to play, saying "I'm playing for sure." We will await official confirmation, though he should be good to roll after logging two full practices on Monday and Tuesday. He figures to see minutes in the 30s with the hype of a top pick and no real depth behind him in L.A.
In his NBA debut, we like Ball to rack up 12.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists, for a total of 21.7 FanDuel points.
