UPDATE: LaMelo Ball has been ruled out.

The 2022 NBA All-Star also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Mann (Disc Irritation) and G Williams (R ACL) are out"

He is currently averaging 30.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 42.5% from the field and 34.6% from the three-point range in 22 games.
