Many are excited to see what the 19-year old rookie, Lonzo Ball, can do for his debut game in Los Angeles Lakers but it turned out to be a total flop. Lonzo Ball's father, LaVar Ball, hyped up the NBA fans when he said “I bet you Stephen Curry won’t go over there and try to guard him. Guaranteed. You’ll see,” via ESPN First Take. After that, Patrick Beverley of the Clippers posted a tweet on his official Twitter account stating that he will guard Lonzo in the first game of the 2017-18 NBA season opener.

Patrick Beverley just made Lonzo’s life a misery during the game against the Clippers, forcing him into a mistake with a turnover just a few minutes into the game.

Lonzo started out with all the nerves and mistakes in the game. All throughout the game, Lonzo was struggling to make a basket as Beverley was just around him. He finished the game with only three points, four assists, and nine rebounds shooting 16 percent from the field in his 29 minutes game time. Meanwhile, Beverley scored 10 points for the Clippers with three rebounds and two steals.
