LiAngelo Ball’s NBA journey has been a long, uphill one, derailed early on by him withdrawing from UCLA during his freshman season. Despite putting himself behind the eight ball, Ball has continued working and has given himself opportunities to get back into the league.
Brief stints with the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League and Detroit Pistons during training camp are the closest he’s gotten to the NBA so far, but he could be set for another opportunity. During last week’s Drew League games in California, Ball was not in attendance and did not play after doing so the previous week.
