Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball has not had the greatest start to his rookie season. He is shooting 30% from the field and is averaging nine points per game. The only highlight of the season thus far has been his triple double performance against the Bucks last week.
Sixers’ star Joel Emiid has been known to be quite the joker on Twitter and took the opportunity to take some shots (no pun intended) at Ball’s deteriorating jump shot. This came shortly after Embiid dropped 46 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists in the Sixers’ 115-109 victory vs the Lakers in Los Angeles. He said that he likes Lonzo’s game but it’s “no shots towards him.” That’s definitely a correlation to Ball not hitting any shots.
Time will tell if Ball responds to Embiid’s comments or even if his outspoken father LaVar usually does on his behalf.
I like Lonzo’s game… no shots towards him #TrustIt
