Do you think LaMelo Ball is a good defender? @David Thorpe does not. Also, win predictions for every team, Poole and Wiggins get deals from the Warriors, and more. BRING IT IN with @jshector truehoop.com/p/warriors-re-…2:28 PM

More on this storyline

LaMelo Ball is expected to miss the start of the 2022-23 NBA season after suffering an ankle injury this week but on the bright side, he will have a new signature shoe waiting for him when he makes his return. Shown here is the “Supernova” Puma MB.02, which is Ball’s second signature hoops shoe with the brand that’s hitting stores next week. Much like its predecessor, the model features a mid-cut upper and the look is elevated with Ball’s signature wings details on the sides. The responsive Nitro foam cushioning is once again used for the midsole while the outsole’s feather tread pattern provides durability and traction on-court. -via Sole Collector / October 13, 2022
