Pelicans' Lonzo Ball (groin) on a minutes limit Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball will be limited to 20 minutes in his return from a groin injury on Thursday night in the team's game against the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
It was reported earlier on game day that Ball would come off the bench, which was an indication he'd be on a minutes limit. That is certainly the case, as Ball will be gradually brought along to a full workload.
In eight games this season, Ball has averaged 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 29.0 FanDuel points.
