Vasilije Micic

Ball exited early on Monday after injuring his left ankle, and it is safe to assume that he'll miss Wednesday's game against the Nets if he is set to have an MRI that day. The negative X-rays are a positive sign, but even if everything comes back clean, he may miss a few games. Vasilije Micic would likely start at point guard with Ball sidelined, where he may be able to provide some assists.

Ball sprained his left ankle during the second quarter of Monday's game and will not return. If Ball misses time beyond Monday, Vasilije Micic will move into the starting lineup. While the opportunity would make Micic worth streaming, his production hasn't been great when allowed to start.

Ball was initially listed as probable with this sprain in his right wrist, and he will return to the lineup after a one-game absence. That will push Vasilije Micic back to the bench after he got the start in their last game.

Due to a sprained right wrist that has lingered, Ball was held out of Friday's loss to Portland. He's on track to play against New Orleans, which would push Vasilije Micic to the bench. There's no need to hold onto Micic, who committed six turnovers on Friday.

With LaMelo Ball out with a sprained wrist, Micic was moved into the starting lineup for Friday's game. Unfortunately for those who streamed him, the second-year guard was inefficient against the Trail Blazers. In addition to the poor shooting, Micic was responsible for just two assists while committing six turnovers. Even if Ball remains out for Saturday's game against New Orleans, fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere for a streamer because Micic won't be worth the risk on a 14-game night.
