Lonzo Ball may be knee deep in his first season as an NBA player, but the middle brother of the Ball family, LiAngelo, is knee deep in serious legal trouble. Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley of UCLA have been arrested in China on shoplifting charges, as first reported by Jeff Goodman of ESPN.

Details of the incident have not been released, but the initial reports do not look good for the three Bruins. The program traveled to China ahead of their season opener against Georgia Tech in Shanghai.

The trio could face a sentence of 3-to-10 years if convicted on the shoplifting charges, according to an anonymous lawyer that spoke with Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports.
