Pelicans head coach Stan Van Gundy said Lonzo Ball could return within the next week as he’s out with knee tendinitis.

Ball wasn’t able to practice on Saturday, and he’s already been ruled out for Sunday against the Kings.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker has played well in Ball’s absence along with rookie Kira Lewis Jr. logging some extra minutes.

Lonzo is averaging 12.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in nine games played this season.
