Lonzo Ball’s first outing as LeBron James’ Lakers teammate will come under the bright lights of Las Vegas against the NBA’s defending champion Golden State Warriors in an exhibition game.
That’s not what Ball says he’s focusing on, though. He’s just happy he gets to play basketball again.
“It is going to be very fun,” Ball said. “The way they play, the way we play, be a lot of up and down, a lot of shots to be taken, just fun basketball.”
Ball hasn’t played a competitive game since March. He was close to making his exhibition debut Saturday against the Clippers, but he and the Lakers opted to be safe and give him a few more days.
