NBA Note - Los Angeles Lakers Ball, Lonzo

Oct 20, 2017 - 8:21 AM G Lonzo Ball struggled in his NBA debut in a loss to the Clippers on Thursday. Ball, the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft in June, finished with three points, nine rebounds, four assists and two turnovers while shooting 1 of 6 from the floor in his first NBA regular-season game. Patrick Beverley guarded Ball when they shared the court and didn't give the rookie much room to work. "He's a great talent, but he's got to go through the tough times," Beverley said. "He'll be better for it."
