Lonzo Ball's Next Move: Warriors Lead Chase
8 Feb
Summary
- Lonzo Ball was traded to the Utah Jazz and subsequently waived.
- Golden State Warriors are the top target for Lonzo Ball.
- Ball has a history of significant injuries, particularly to his knee.
Veteran guard Lonzo Ball is a prominent name in the NBA buyout market following a trade that sent him from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Utah Jazz. The Jazz waived Ball shortly after acquiring him, making him a free agent available to playoff-contending teams.
The Golden State Warriors have identified Ball as their top target. They aim to add depth after failing to acquire a superstar at the trade deadline. Ball's potential addition could bolster their guard rotation.
Other teams, including the Denver Nuggets and Charlotte Hornets, have also expressed interest in signing Ball. The Nuggets see him as a potential backup for Jamal Murray, while the Hornets could reunite him with his brother, LaMelo Ball.
Ball, 28, has faced significant injury concerns throughout his career, notably missing two seasons due to a persistent knee issue. Teams showing interest have reportedly requested a review of his medical records. In his last 35 games with the Cavaliers, Ball averaged 4.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.
