The much-anticipated debut of Lonzo Ball came Thursday in summer league action. While Lonzo started the game with a beautiful alley-oop pass to Brandon Ingram, it took him until the second quarter to register to his first basket as a Los Angeles Laker.

If you're wondering whether Lonzo's father, LaVar, was in attendance for the contest, the answer is a resounding yes. Supposedly, the Las Vegas crowd gave the eldest Big Baller a standing ovation when he entered the arena.
