After another night of struggles for Ball, Cleveland fans lamented his rough performance. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Ball has, unfortunately, had his career derailed by injuries. He suffered a knee injury during the 2021-22 season and proceeded to miss all of the 2022-23 season and the entirety of the 2023-24 season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">He finally returned last season, but he hasn&#8217;t been the same. After playing 35 games last year and putting up 7.6 points per game last year, he&#8217;s averaging just 5.6 points, 4.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game this year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Ball will look to get things going soon, but he hasn&#8217;t given Cavs fans much to root for so far. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lonzo Ball&#8217;s revenge game against the Chicago Bulls didn&#8217;t go the way he would have liked.
