Magic: Ball set for 'breakout' after tweaking shot
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Magic Johnson believes Lonzo Ball is ready for a "breakout season" with the Los Angeles Lakers after the point guard tweaked his shooting form and spent time in the weight room and film room this offseason.
Although the team will play it safe and keep Ball out of five-on-five contact when training camp starts Monday, Johnson, the Lakers' president of basketball operations, says Ball has made visible progress physically and mentally and with a slightly revamped shot.
Entering his second year, Ball is making his way back from arthroscopic left knee surgery on his torn meniscus.
