There are two main types of changes: physical and chemical. The Basketball's composition did not change therefore leaving it to be a physical change.
Also, a visual observation can determine that the physical appearance of the basketball has changed by becoming flatter.
This change can also be reversed by increasing the volume of air the basketball contains.
The chemical properties of the basketball remain the same throughout the whole deflation. ex. the basketball is still a basketball
