In case you didn’t know…
Ball was selected by the Lakers with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 draft, and during his debut season, the 21-year-old was named to the All-Rookie Second Team.
Ball has continued to perform well this season, averaging 9.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, although the point guard will miss the next four weeks through injury.
The heart of the matter
Lonzo Ball has no power to wield when it comes to a trade, and the Lakers are unlikely to be swayed by Ball’s concerns. The LA Times report also suggests that the Pelicans have big plans for Ball, so it seems as though the point guards doubts are misplaced.
What’s next?
The Lakers will next face off with local rivals the LA Clippers, in a game that could see the long-awaited return of LeBron James.
