Lonzo, LaMelo Ball prime for first NBA matchup: ‘It’s going to be a lot of fun’

Even if bother brothers say otherwise, Friday’s contest against the New Orleans Pelicans and Charlotte Hornets will not be simply another game.

For the first time in five years, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball will share the court in a competitive basketball game and, for the first time ever in that setting, they won’t be on the same team. And even if the country will be watching the nationally-televised game on ESPN, both brothers still have their focus on getting the win.

“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Lonzo said.
