Stephen A. Smith shared a concerning report about Lonzo Ball’s NBA future during Tuesday’s episode of First Take, suggesting he didn’t think the 25-year-old would “ever be the same.”
Smith claims his sources told him that Ball even struggles to “get up from the sitting position” due to the knee injuries which have plagued the Bulls guard thus far into his career.
After hearing the comments Smith spewed on ESPN on Tuesday, Ball issued a response on social media, taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, in order to clear the air and even call out the analyst.
