Ball's wrist was bothering him Saturday against the Pistons, as he shot 3-of-14 from the field in 23 minutes before fouling out. Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, but it sounds like Ball will give it a go against Cleveland.

  Ball (ankle) amassed 28 points (10-16 FG, 8-11 3Pt), 13 assists, four rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 win over Atlanta. Sidelined for the previous three games due to a left ankle bone bruise, Ball seemingly had few restrictions in place in his return to the lineup Thursday and proceeded to deliver one of his better all-around performances of the season. The eight triples were easily a season high for Ball, who had been shooting 28.5 percent from downtown on the campaign heading into Thursday.
