LaMelo Ball had a hard time on the court without Miles Bridges. The 6’7 forward was an explosive talent, especially on the offensive side. However, his prime time was put to a halt when he was arrested in June last year. Miles Bridges was accused of domestic violence. The news stunned the NBA world, in addition to which NBA commissioner Adam Silver suspended the 25-year-old for an entire season without pay.

Reports revealed Michael Jordan was ready to reconsider the decision on selling his ownership stake if the team landed the French sensation. The draft lottery was beneficial, yet it did not go entirely in favor of MJ.
