Warriors Pass on Lonzo Ball, Prioritize Stability

0:00From Golden State Warriors coverage, this is your March 3rd update. The NBA buyout deadline passed on March 1st, giving Playoff teams a last chance to add talent. The Golden State Warriors had their eyes on former Cavaliers guard Lonzo Ball as a top option, but they decided against signing the 28-year-old this season. Earlier this week, reports surfaced explaining why Ball got traded to the Utah Jazz from Cleveland and was waved right away. That sparked interest from several contenders, including the Warriors and Denver Nuggets, who started gathering his medical records. Both teams backed off after reviewing his knee issues. Ball brings solid defense and playmaking skills from his UC LA days, but his long history of lower body injuries made him too risky. Warriors fans might feel relieved now. Adding an unreliable player could hurt their postseason push, especially with Steven Curry leading the Corps. Golden State played it smart by passing. They saw no clear upside and focused on stability instead. The Daily News Now is made possible with support from our sponsor.
