Stephen A. Smith Announces Exciting Development on Friday

Lonzo Ball was once viewed as the next great Los Angeles Lakers point guard, but injuries have derailed his career in a big way. The now-Cleveland Cavaliers point guard is on the fourth team of his career after being acquired via trade in July, and is looking to prove he can stay healthy throughout a season as he has played 60+ games just once in his career.

Ball, 27, debuted for the Cavs on Wednesday in the team's opening-night 119-111 loss to the New York Knicks. Ball saw 23 minutes of action off of the bench, scoring just three points on 1-of-7 shooting, while dishing out six assists and grabbing four rebounds. Although he never became the player that will have his jersey retired like Magic Johnson predicted, or maintained the stardom that saw his father frequently debating Stephen A. Smith on ESPN's "First Take," Ball is still a massive name.

Between his rise to stardom with his brothers during their time at Chino Hills or his deep run in the NCAA Tournament with UCLA in 2016-17, Ball has accumulated nearly 18 million Instagram followers. Aside from his talent in basketball, Ball has also showcased his music production skills in the quick ascension of his brother, Gelo, in the hip-hop world.

As announced by Smith on social media the two Ball brothers are set to be the next guest on his show, "The Stephen A. Smith Show."
