Lonzo Ball on brother's arrest: Family 'in China taking care of it'

BOSTON -- Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball says he has not yet spoken to his family, including his brother, UCLA freshman LiAngelo Ball, who was released on bail in Hangzhou, China, after being arrested for allegedly shoplifting.

"No, I haven't talked to any of them yet," Lonzo Ball said after the Lakers' shootaround on Wednesday morning. "I know they are all over there in China taking care of it, so I will talk to them when they get back."

Ball's younger brother, LiAngelo, along with freshmen Cody Riley and Jalen Hill, were questioned by Chinese authorities about allegedly stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store close to the UCLA team hotel in Hangzhou, where the Bruins were staying before leaving for Shanghai on Wednesday.
