Ruled out for Sunday Ball (injury management) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Ball will sit out the first night of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set due to left knee injury management, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Raptors. With the 28-year-old point guard joining Sam Merrill (hand) and Craig Porter (hamstring) on the sidelines, Jaylon Tyson and Tyrese Proctor are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Cleared to face Grizzlies Ball (injury management) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Ball got the night off Thursday during the second end of a back-to-back set -- a regular occurrence for the 28-year-old guard -- but he'll be back for Saturday's contest. With Darius Garland (toe) and Jaylon Tyson (concussion) sidelined, Ball should see a larger role against Memphis.

Won't play Thursday Ball (injury management) won't play Thursday against the Raptors.

Impact Ball has yet to be cleared for back-to-back sets, so this is an expected update. He fared well Wednesday night against the Heat, producing 15 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes. Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter could pick up some run in Ball's absence Thursday.

Scores 15 with eight dimes Ball notched 15 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 win over the Heat.

Impact Ball got the start due to the absences of Darius Garland (toe) and Donovan Mitchell (rest), and he delivered a well-rounded performance while ending just two assists away from a double-double. Ball should return to the bench if Mitchell moves back into the lineup Thursday against the Raptors in the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he might still have some upside as long as his minutes continue to hover around the 20-25 range.

NOVEMBER 13 • Associated Press

Starting Wednesday Ball is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami.

Impact With both Darius Garland (toe) and Donovan Mitchell (rest) unavailable for Wednesday's game, Ball will draw the start, and he'll be joined by Sam Merrill, Dean Wade, De'Andre Hunter and Jarrett Allen in the first unit. Ball has struggled to make an impact this season, so it'll be interesting to see what he can do in a starting role with little depth behind him.

Scores nine points in 20 minutes Ball contributed nine points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 140-138 overtime defeat to the Heat.

Impact Ball saw a season-low in minutes in this one, despite the game going to overtime and Darius Garland exiting early after aggravating his toe injury, so it doesn't look like his role will change much with Garland going down again. Ball has been disappointing this season, averaging 5.1 points and 5.1 assists in 23.4 minutes per game, which has him ranked well outside the top-200 in fantasy leagues.

Impact After missing Friday's game due to a knee issue, Ball will return to action. The veteran guard is currently averaging 5.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 29.3 percent from the floor and 25.8 percent from three-point range.

Sitting out vs. Wizards Ball (knee) is out for Friday's game against Washington.

Impact The Cavaliers will hold Ball out of action for left knee injury management. The veteran floor general figures to be back in the lineup for the second half of a back-to-back game Saturday against the Bulls. With Ball sitting out Friday, the door is open for Craig Porter to handle the backup role at point guard.

Retreating to bench Sunday Ball is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Ball made his first start as a Cavalier on Friday and performed well, but he'll shift back to the bench with Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) returning from a one-game absence. The UCLA product should still play plenty off the bench, having logged at least 22 minutes in all five of his appearances this season.

Cavaliers are learning a harsh Lonzo Ball lesson they should've known all along The Cleveland Cavaliers will need some serious patience with Lonzo Ball's scoring.

NOVEMBER 2 • KINGJAMESGOSPEL.COM

Five dimes in first start of 2025 Ball tallied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five assists, five rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Cleveland's 112-101 loss to Toronto on Friday.

Impact Ball made his first start of the regular season Friday due to the absences of Donovan Mitchell (hamstring), Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (hip). Ball scored all eight of his points in the third quarter as he took a back seat offensively to Evan Mobley (29 points), De'Andre Hunter (26) and Jaylon Tyson (18). While Ball isn't known for his scoring, he has registered at least five assists in each of his five outings this season. He would likely return to the bench if Mitchell and Garland were to return Sunday against the Hawks.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Ball will start in Friday's game against the Raptors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

Impact With Donovan Mitchell (hamstring), Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (hip) all sidelined, Ball will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The Cavaliers have been cautious with the 28-year-old point guard's minutes due to his extensive injury history, so he's unlikely to see a significant uptick in playing time. Over four regular-season games, Ball has averaged 4.8 points, 6.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game.
