The ball, the Lakers guard, polishes the ankle during practice and could miss the game against the Kings

Lonzo Ball may not be on the field Saturday for the Los Angeles Lakers.

The 21-year-old goalkeeper pinched his ankle during training when he landed on a teammate's foot during a scrum, said Luke Walton coach told reporters on Friday.

He said that he was not sure of Ball's status for the team's game against the Sacramento Kings.

"Hope this is nothing serious," Walton said. "We got it out of the end of the tests, he came in and was treated."

The Lakers added star LeBron James, as well as Rajon Rondo, among others in the offseason.

Walton said the team now had the choice to replace Ball as the main handler, in that he was running out of time.

"We felt last year when [Lonzo] We were injured, we were looking for this guy, said Walton. This year we have guys who we are very confident can play this leadership role for us.

"I think it's great to have these guys in the team with [Ball] right now … We have two of the best playmakers in the league with Rondo and LeBron in the team. "

Ball has averaged nine points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 26.1 minutes per game this season.

The Lakers will start their game against the Kings with a 5-6 record.
