The Cleveland Cavaliers keep waiting for moments of hope that would suggest Lonzo Ball finally being ready to turn the corner on his dreadful scoring touch to start 2025-26. Instead, what they keep seeing is reminders of why the Chicago Bulls were ready to part ways with their old point guard.
Ball's comeback story is something everyone wants to root for. It was undoubtedly a challenging road back to the NBA court for him after years away.
Shaking off that rust is proving to be challenging. A painful shooting night from the field in the Cavaliers' recent 110-99 loss against the Toronto Raptors only reminded viewers just how much work there still is to make defenses respect Ball's scoring ability once more.
