Lonzo Ball (knee) expected to be out Wednesday for Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton said he expects point guard Lonzo Ball to sit out Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

According to Lakers.com's Mike Trudell, Ball did not participate in Tuesday's practice session. The rookie point man isn't dealing with any kind of structural damage, but it's understandable that L.A. will proceed with caution. Until he returns to the floor, Tyler Ennis and Jordan Clarkson should continue to split minutes at point guard.

If he's somehow able to get back out there on Wednesday, we project Ball for 33.2 FanDuel points in 33 minutes. He's averaging 10.2 points, 7.1 assists and 7.1 rebounds through 36 games to date.
