LaMelo Ball is about to get paid as a coveted free agent. LaMelo Ball is the Rookie of the Year and showed All-Star potential his first season.
LiAngelo Ball, the third Ball brother, will try to jump-start his NBA career through Summer League. Roderick Boone at Sports Illustrated’s All Hornets broke the news. Ball is reportedly already working out at team facilities.
It’s not uncommon for teams to give the brother of a star player a shot through Summer League or other means.
In 2020, LiAngelo did sign a G-League contract with the Oklahoma City Blue, but a few days later the league shut down for the pandemic, and he never played for them.
