   Ball registered 22 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 115-109 victory over New Orleans.

   The former Hornet delivered at least 20 points for the fourth time in the last five games. Ball has seen a little more shot volume since Anthony Edwards (knee) went down, but for the most part his role hasn't changed, just his efficiency. During that five-game stretch, Ball is averaging 22.0 points, 5.6 assists, 4.4 boards, 3.8 threes and 1.8 steals while shooting 47.4 percent from the floor, 90.5 percent from the charity stripe and 41.3 percent from long distance -- all of which would be career-best shooting marks over a full season.

   Ball totaled 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and seven turnovers across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 117-107 win over the Rockets.

   Ball did not miss during the final frame, scoring 12 of his 20 points on 4-for-4 shooting, as he guided his team to victory. In five games without Anthony Edwards (knee surgery), Ball has averaged 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 3.6 triples and 2.0 steals per contest on 44.4 percent shooting from the field and 87.5 percent from the stripe.

   Ball tallied 34 points (12-21 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 112-100 win over Milwaukee.

   Ball was feeling it as a scorer Monday night, and it resulted in his best performance of the young season. He's put up 20-plus points in two of his last three games, and he'll need to continue to provide some pop on the offensive end while Anthony Edwards rehabs from arthroscopic knee surgery.

   Ball (wrist) is active for Monday's game against the Bucks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

   Ball picked up a questionable designation due to a right wrist contusion sustained over the weekend, but he's going to tough it out at home versus Milwaukee. He'll look to bounce back after fouling out in just 20 minutes during Minnesota's 121-111 loss to the Spurs on Saturday.

   Ball is questionable for Monday's game against Milwaukee due to a right wrist contusion.

   Ball's status is uncertain heading into Monday's matchup, leaving Minnesota's backcourt potentially shorthanded. With Anthony Edwards (knee) already ruled out, Ball's availability will be particularly important for the Timberwolves' offensive production. Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu could be heavily involved if Ball is absent.
