On Tuesday ahead of a huge regular-season matchup with the L.A. Clippers, the OKC Thunder made some waves throughout the NBA community when ESPN announced the team would ink LiAngelo Ball to a G-League contract.
LiAngelo Ball is the middle Ball brother, seeing his older brother Lonzo playing for the Pelicans after being draft second overall, and younger brother LaMelo projected to go within the top five picks of the 2020 NBA Draft.
LiAngelo Ball’s basketball career was derailed after a short stint in college. At UCLA, the youngster was caught up in an international shoplifting scandal and was never able to recover.
