There will be no agreement on a rookie extension for New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski .
Ball will become a restricted free agent next summer., although both sides remain positive about the ability to move forward together, Paul told ESPN.
Ball signed with Klutch Sports in September after brief stints with Creative Artists Agency and Roc Nation.
Ball was traded to New Orleans in 2019 as a part of a deal that sent Anthony Davis, who is also represented by Paul, to the Lakers. Ball was dealt alongside Josh Hart, Ingram and draft picks just days before the Pelicans selected Duke forward Zion Williamson with the No. 1 overall pick.
