Lonzo Ball
Injury
Cleveland Cavaliers’ guard Lonzo Ball will start the season with a 20-minute restriction and will not play in back-to-back games, a decision stemming from his injury history. The Cavaliers’ first back-to-back series occurs on October 26-27. With Darius Garland’s status uncertain due to a toe injury, Ball was eyed as a potential fill-in. However, the imposed restrictions diminish his immediate fantasy value, while rookie Craig Porter Jr. might see more minutes if Garland isn’t ready for the season opener.
