在Lonzo Ball於節目《Ball In The Family Podcast》上談到自己已不再打球一事後，多家主流媒體對其發布其選擇退役一事，而在剛剛Lonzo Ball也親自發文出面闢謠，表示自己沒有選擇退役：
「我退役了？我自己都不知道，笑死，因為我還在等球隊打電話給我..NBA賽季還很長。」

不過Lonzo Ball在節目上也坦言不認為自己曾經達到巔峰，且曾在上週計劃前往杜拜打球但最終放棄這個計劃，原因是自己對於籃球的熱情已然消退。
Lonzo Ball也透露自己現在就像是在「踩高蹺」打球，做動作依然感覺會痛且跑不動。同時Lonzo Ball也坦言過去在14個月內做了3次手術完全毀了自己在打球上的樂趣，依然擔心著自己的膝蓋會不會在上籃時徹底垮掉。
