LaMelo Ball Ruled Out for Saturday Preseason Game Against Heat

LaMelo Ball (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Miami Heat. Ball is taking a scheduled breather alongside several teammates, leaving Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon to start in the backcourt. Ball's next chance to take the floor will be Monday against the New York Knicks, though his playing time is expected to remain limited leading up to the Timberwolves' regular-season opener against the Heat on October 21.
