Ball (thumb) is available for Thursday's game in Orlando.

Ball is dealing with a bruised thumb on his shooting hand, but he'll push through the pain and make himself available for Thursday's game. Ball came off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Cavs, but he'll likely be back in the first unit for Thursday's game.
