The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to take on the Milwaukee Bucks at home on Monday night. LaMelo Ball popped up on the latest injury report amid the team already dealing with injury woes for Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo. It's said that Ball is suffering from a wrist injury ahead of Monday's contest. Here's everything we know about LaMelo Ball's injury and his status against the Bucks.
LaMelo Ball's injury status vs. Bucks
Hours before the 8 p.m. EST tip-off against the Bucks, the Timberwolves ruled LaMelo Ball questionable with a right wrist contusion. For now, his status for the game is completely up in the air, and head coach Chris Finch will have to make an official decision before the start of the contest.
With the backcourt already dealing with injuries, the Timberwolves could certainly be in trouble against Milwaukee on Monday night. The depth is lacking right now with Edwards and DiVincenzo already ruled out, and Ball isn't quite playing up to his full potential to kick off his first year in Minnesota.
Through seven games played so far this season, the 25-year-old guard is averaging 14.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.9 steals per game while shooting 39.3% from the field and 34.5% from beyond the three-point line.
That inefficiency showed in the club's 121-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Halloween. LaMelo Ball ended that game with just 10 points, eight rebounds, and four assists, making just two of his 10 field goal attempts. Ball failed to convert a single one of his four three-point attempts as well. Even so, the Timberwolves have a 4-3 record going into the game against the Bucks.
So, when it comes to the question of, if LaMelo Ball is playing tonight against the Bucks, the answer remains uncertain.
