Bal finished Saturday's 125-124 victory over the Bulls with three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes.
Bal made his NBA debut, fresh off signing a 10-day contract earlier Saturday. With Memphis holding out 11 players due to injury and another (DeJon Jarreau, elbow) exiting early, Bal ended up seeing extensive playing time right out of the gate. However, Bal delivered a listless fantasy line Saturday, which had been par for the course during his time in the G League. Over his 29 appearances for the G League's Westchester Knicks prior to signing with Memphis, Bal averaged just 7.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.0 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.
