I lost my orange Spalding basketball yesterday around 3pm while shooting hoops behind the Merced Mall on G Street. It's a standard-size ball, pretty worn, with noticeable scuffs along the seams and a small tear near the bottom panel. I wrote my initials 'P.P.' on the inner surface with a Sharpie, and there's a faint blue tape strip I put on it to mark it during pickup games. This ball has sentimental value—it's my go-to practice ball and means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back so I can keep playing this week.
