Lonzo Ball hasn't appeared in a game with the Los Angeles Lakers since January 13 but that isn't stopping him from trying to make some money.
The All-Star game is coming to Los Angeles this weekend, and Ball will be hosting an autograph signing.
According to Darren Rovell of ESPN:

The event is taking place on Saturday from 12-2 p.m. at the Puente Hills Mall. That is a 22-mile drive from the Staples Center, where the events for the All-Star Game will take place.
For a flat price of $199 dollars, Lavar Ball's oldest son will sign any item. For an authentication of the item, it will cost $10 more. No inscription or pictures with Lonzo will be allowed.
Lonzo signed a two-year, $13.78 million dollar year after being drafted No. 2 overall by the Lakers. He has only played in 36 games this year averaging 10.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.
His passing has had a nice transition to the NBA, but his shooting has not. He is shooting 35.6 percent from the field, 30.3 percent from three, and a terrible 48 percent from the free throw line. He wasn't a great free throw shooter at UCLA shooting only 67.3 percent from the charity stripe but that would still be an acceptable rate in the NBA.
Although he isn't qualified for the leaderboards, if he was the 48 percent would be the worst rate in the NBA. To compare Dwight Howard is shooting 55.2 percent, and DeAndre Jordan is shooting 57.9 percent from the line.
It's not really clear when Lonzo will return to the Lakers from his injury, but hopefully, he took this time to improve his shooting, especially at the free throw line.
