Lonzo Ball’s return from injury was a heroic one.
Behind a stellar line of 27 points just two away from tying his career-best of 29, eight 3-pointers (a new career-high) and nine assists, Zo sparked the New Orleans Pelicans into snapping a two-game losing streak, beating the Houston Rockets by a final score of 122-115.

The journey has been long, and I’m sure he’d be the first to tell you that he’s nowhere near the final destination regarding his game yet, but it’s time to marvel at Lonzo’s improvement.

Typically, significant players miss games due to injury in every sport. Life isn’t always fair. To quote HBO‘s greatest character, Omar Little, “It’s all in the game, right?”
However, the NBA has gotten more fierce, with a deadly virus disrupting the world as we know it. Unfortunately, compromise became a key theme for anyone trying to live in the world’s current state.
The NBA became a source of inspiration with its execution of the bubble. The sequel had little to no shot at a return, mainly due to players’ mental health at stake, living for months without family.
Posted 8 days ago | By Pat Heery The 2017 NBA Draft will go down as one of the more infamous drafts in the past decade as it featured a monumental bust at the top of the draft in Markelle Fultz - a seemingly can t-miss point guard prospect out of Washington who got injured and subsequently lost the ability to shoot the basketball to the point where he needed to stop playing basketball to try to fix his yips. Adding insult to injury with this pick, the 76ers traded a future first round pick and the no. 3 overall pick to move up to select Fultz. Meanwhile, the Celtics used that no. 3 pick to draft the one true superstar in this draft at no. 3 in Jayson Tatum. Imagine what the Sixers could have been had they not drafted Fultz? Well, imagine no more - here s how the 2017 NBA Draft plays out if it happened today.
