Los Angeles Lakers small forward Brandon Ingram returned from his four-game suspension Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves and scored 24 points in 25 minutes. However, Ingram picked up five fouls, forcing head coach Luke Walton to take him out of the game during key stretches. Ingram's point guard, Lonzo Ball, wants to make sure the third-year swingman knows he has to stay out of foul trouble, and what better way to remind him than doing it in a Batman costume.
On Tuesday, the Lakers hosted a Halloween party for some local kids, and Lonzo Ball showed up in Batman suit. Brandon Ingram was at the party as well, and Ball, in his best deep Batman voice, reminded Ingram to stop fouling so much:

The Lakers may be 2-5 on the season, but they're still having fun off the court. It’s good to see that the Lakers’ on-court struggles aren’t impacting their off-the-court lifestyle. There’s still a lot of games to be played and the Lakers can still turn things around. After all, they have the best player in the world in LeBron James leading them.
In seven games thus far this season, Lonzo Ball is averaging 9.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists while shooting 44.1 percent from the field, 36.1 percent from beyond the arc and 57.1 percent from the free-throw line. He has taken over as the starting point guard even after Rajon Rondo returned from his three-game suspension.
Brandon Ingram, meanwhile, is putting up 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in three games. The 21-year-old is shooting 51.2 percent overall and 30.0 percent from the 3-point line.
The Lakers will look to snap their two-game losing streak when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Los Angeles is giving up the second-most points in the NBA right now, so they have to improve on the defensive end if they want to start winning some games.
