Amid the Anthony Davis rumors, Lonzo Ball’s camp — which had largely remained quiet up to this point of the season — made it clear they do not want him traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by his hometown Los Angeles Lakers, Ball is currently recovering from a Grade 3 ankle sprain. However, that has not prevented the Lakers from including him in discussions with the Pelicans.
As Ball’s camp does not want him to play for a team that has an established point guard, the Pelicans reportedly believe he can become a star for them.
