Lonzo Ball will skip the NBA combine next month, sources told The Vertical's Shams Charania.
It's not unusual for top prospects to pass on the event, and Ball remains a consensus top-3 selection. He has said that he is willing to play for any team, but has a preference for his hometown Los Angeles Lakers.
