Brothers Lonzo and LaMelo Ball speak on facing each other on Jan. 17 as members of the Bulls and Hornets, respectively

LaMelo Ball had 26 points and nine assists and Mark Williams notched a double-double of 19 points and 19 rebounds to lift the visiting Charlotte Hornets to a 125-123 victory over the slumping Chicago Bulls on Friday.

After missing the last two seasons due to injury, Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball has finally returned to action. Ball was drafted second overall in 2017 but made a name for himself in high school when he played alongside his brothers LaMelo and LiAngelo.

The Chicago Bulls are taking on the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night in a matchup that is much more than a clash between two teams near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Lonzo Ball is on the floor for the Bulls in this one and LaMelo Ball is out there for the Hornets,
