Lonzo Ball (ankle) needs more recovery time

The Los Angeles Lakers defense has taken a notable hit since second-year guard Lonzo Ball went down with an ankle sprain and bone bruise against the Rockets on January 19. It's been 14 games as of Thursday, and it looks like the count will continue, leaving the defense without a crucial piece during the stretch run.
