Lonzo Ball will out up to three weeks with a minor MCL sprain.

Ball was hurt in a game on Jan. 13th and has missed six straight games.

Luke Walton said Ball will have to go through a full practice before returning to play.

"He's feeling better every day," Walton said. "I wouldn't be surprised if within a couple of days, a week, whatever it is, they say he's ready to start practicing again.

"But we are still training and approaching it as if it's long term. We are not making any plans as if he's coming back tomorrow."
