College recruit tables
I removed that college recruit tables as they are too bulky for a bio, and the information is already summarized in the prose. Feel free to discuss at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association.—Bagumba (talk) 21:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Change the main picture of Lonzo to a more recent picture. Preferably him in the Los Angeles Lakers Summer League uniform. E.g. this http://images.solecollector.com/complex/images/fl_lossy,q_auto/v1/sfptzddccpajh32hhmuw/lonzo-ball-big-baller-brand-zo2-shotime-summer-league-debut Beagsyj (talk) 22:56, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Add statistics from Lonzo Ball's NBA debut. 74.82.4.70 (talk) 17:16, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * ❌. This is a very sensitive article and you want to add statistics from Ball's first game, which was notoriously not a good game for him. Hmm. Why do you want to do that?  City O f  Silver  17:33, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Change "His go-to shot with time expiring was a step-back 3-pointer from deep." to "His go-to shot with time expiring was a step-back 3-pointer that usually was a brick or an airball." Skrtonthem (talk) 01:04, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Change the picture to a picture of Ball on the Lakers -- or at least UCLA. It's time to update from a high school era picture. 2605:E000:1314:44C4:0:3815:87E6:629D (talk) 02:08, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Lonzo Ball trade
Ball has been confirmed as traded by ESPN and Adrian Wojnarowski, a senior NBA Insider for ESPN. Multiple sources have now declared the trade official including The Athletic, ABC Sports, NBA on TNT, and ESPN as noted above. The trade included Small Forward Brandon Ingram and Shooting Guard Josh Hart as well as the No 4 pick in the 2019 draft. This trade will be completed by July 30th.


 * please make appropriate changes to Anthony Davis' article as well.

https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4066421/lonzo-ball (which denotes that he is now playing for the Pelicans)

 * Generally, we dont make updates when they are based on reports using unnamed sources. You can refer to WP:SPORTSTRANS.  Typically, an official announcement is made a day or two later, so there is no hurry.  Being that there is a July moratorium right now, and some sources have speculated that this deal could take another month to complete, maybe consensus will want to make an exception here and say something about "reports".—Bagumba (talk) 10:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

comment: completed shots are not attempts. either you get the point or you don't get the point. Either it is completed for the point or it is an attempt if you do not get the point. You cannot have an attempt on a point shot. I understand what is attempting to be said but grammar includes logic and it ain't logical no matter how many times it is used. 2605:E000:9149:8300:549A:9CC6:73E3:B72D (talk) 00:09, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Updates Needed
Couple of things: 1. Under the endorsement section the ZO2's are mentioned but no one has updated the section to mention the new ZO2 Prime's 2. Under the honors and awards section you could possibly mention the Summer League MVP as an honor in the NBA? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nholmes13 (talk • contribs) 01:45, 6 October 2017 (UTC) Got it. Nintendoswitchfan (talk) 12:11, 22 October 2017 (UTC) 3. In his biography it says he's in the Lakers, but he just got traded to the New Orleans Pelicans alongside Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and draft picks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RayJohn7 (talk • contribs) 23:32, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

In the ‘Player Profile’ section of the page, it states that Lonzo has missed 40% of the games in his career, but the cited articles from which this percentage is taken are from nearly a year and a half ago. Therefore, I feel that an update of that percentage is necessary; also, once these numbers are updated, I feel it would be useful to put that he has missed ‘X’ percentage of his games ‘𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘧’ the month and year that the update is added.

 * I've removed the part about his injuries.—Bagumba (talk) 11:42, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Triple double
20/01/2021- Lonzo’s youngest nba triple-double record wasn’t actually broken by his brother, his brother does currently hold the record but lonzo’s record was broken by Markelle Fultz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.27.137.112 (talk) 10:54, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Removed. At most, something can be added that Fultz broke Lonzo's record. —Bagumba (talk) 11:32, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

My bad. I misunderstood it as him surpassing him already, but you're right, technically he surpassed the one who surpassed him.Nintendoswitchfan (talk) 10:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I generally wouldn't list anyone but the person who broke the record. At best, if someone thought that there's a connection because it's his brother, make an exception and put it in an explanatory footnote.—Bagumba (talk) 10:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
