Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball and his agent, Harrison Gaines, have mutually agreed to part ways.
"Harrison Gaines has been a trusted advisor and close friend for many years," Ball told ESPN in a statement. "He guided my NBA career with integrity and always had my best interests at heart."
While the announcement comes two weeks after Ball severed ties and sued former Big Baller Brand co-founder Alan Foster for damages of at least $2 million, Ball insisted that Gaines supported him through that situation and this decision was unrelated.
"Harrison has always had my back and although we will no longer be working together after mutually deciding to part ways; our relationship will always be bigger than basketball," Ball said.
