LiAngelo Robert Ball (born November 24, 1998) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Astros de Jalisco. Ball played for Chino Hills High School in California, where he won a state championship and achieved national success as a junior with his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo, who are both current NBA guards. A three-star recruit and UCLA signee, he decided to forgo college basketball after being suspended for shoplifting in China before the 2017–18 season. In turn, Ball signed with Lithuanian professional team Prienai. He later played in the Junior Basketball Association (JBA), a league founded by his father, before joining the G League at the end of 2019–20. He was briefly signed to the Detroit Pistons in late 2020, but was waived prior to the start of the 2020–21 season. Ball joined the Greensboro Swarm in 2021.
Ball and his brothers have attracted national attention since playing together in high school. His father, LaVar, also grew into a media personality in 2017. Ball has a signature shoe by his father's company, Big Baller Brand, and a role on his family's Facebook Watch reality show Ball in the Family.
In his childhood, Ball often played basketball against older opponents, facing teams of fourth- and fifth-graders while in kindergarten.[3] He started working out and training by age four and first competed with both of his brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo, at age six.[3][4] As a seven-year-old, he also began playing flag football with his brothers. While Lonzo was a quarterback, LiAngelo and LaMelo caught passes.[3] On the basketball court, LiAngelo grew up playing with his brothers on Big Ballers VXT, an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) under-17 team created by their father and coached by both parents.[4][5][6]
High school career
Freshman and sophomore seasons
Ball played basketball for four years at Chino Hills High School in Chino Hills, California. As a freshman, he started alongside his older brother, Lonzo.[7][8] Ball helped Chino Hills reach its first-ever CIF Southern Section Open Division championship game.[9][10] Chino Hills fell in overtime to Centennial High School at the Southern California Regional Division I final.[11] As a sophomore, Ball was teammates with his brother, Lonzo, and his cousin, Andre Ball. He suffered a foot injury before the season and missed a tournament at Fairfax High School in June 2014.[12] On September 14, he scored 35 points with seven three-point field goals to win the Ron Massey Memorial Fall Hoops Classic.[13] In December 2014, Ball scored 53 points in a 111–80 win over Dorsey High School.[14][15] At the end of the season, Ball was sidelined for four games with an ankle sprain but returned for the playoffs.[16] His team lost at the CIF State Division I championship game.[17] After the season, on April 21, he verbally committed to play college basketball for UCLA.[18][19]
Junior season
In his junior season, Ball played with both of his brothers, Lonzo and LaMelo.[20] In December 2015, Ball scored 32 points to upset top-ranked Montverde Academy in the City of Palms Classic quarterfinals.[21][22] He scored 40 points in a semifinal win over High Point Christian Academy and won the tournament.[23][24] Against Jonesboro High School at the MaxPreps Holiday Classic, Ball scored 41 points.[25] On February 11, he led all scorers with 32 points against Etiwanda High School, as Chino Hills finished the regular season with a 27–0 record.[26] On March 5, 2016, he scored 31 points to win the CIF Southern Section Open Division title over Sierra Canyon School.[27] On March 26, he had 18 points to win the Open Division title over De La Salle High School.[28] As a junior, Ball averaged 27.4 points per game, which led his team.[29][30] His team finished 35–0 and was named mythical national champion by MaxPreps, who also labeled their title run "perhaps the best brother act in high school basketball history."[28]
Senior season
On November 29, Ball scored 56 points in a 121–89 win over Lutheran High School of Orange County.[31] In his following game, which was played on the next day, Ball scored a career-high 72 points with 13 three-pointers in a 128–108 victory over Rancho Christian School, the tenth-most points scored in a single game in California high school history.[32] On December 26, he scored 65 points in a Rancho Mirage Holiday Invitational win over Foothill High School.[33] On January 20, 2017, Ball scored 60 points in a 136–93 win over Los Osos High School.[34] Seven days later, he registered 52 points and 10 three-pointers in a victory against Damien High School.[35] His team fell in the CIF Southern Section Open Division semifinals to Bishop Montgomery High School.[36] After a 30–3 season, he was named All-Area Player of the Year by The San Bernardino Sun and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin.[37] Ball was also a first-team All-State and honorable mention All-American selection by MaxPreps.[38] In addition, he averaged 33.8 points per game as a senior, leading the state of California in scoring.[39]
On November 7, 2017, days before UCLA's regular season opener against Georgia Tech overseas in Shanghai, Ball and two other freshman teammates were arrested in Hangzhou for allegedly stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store at a high-end shopping center near their team hotel.[48][49][50] The trio potentially faced a fine and three to ten years in prison but were soon released from custody;[51][52] Ball and his teammates thanked then-President Donald Trump for helping secure their release.[53] Ball was suspended indefinitely from the UCLA basketball program following the incident.[54]
On December 4, he announced that he planned to withdraw from UCLA;[55] his father LaVar had grown frustrated over the length of the suspension.[56] Had Ball stayed at UCLA, he would have remained suspended for the rest of the season.[55]
Professional career
Prienai (2018)
Although Ball was not considered a prospect at the time for the National Basketball Association (NBA), he planned on preparing for the 2018 draft with his father after leaving UCLA.[46][57] On December 11, 2017, he signed with Prienai of the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL),[58] along with his younger brother LaMelo, who left Chino Hills before his junior season.[59] The brothers' move to Lithuania was heavily reported by American sports media.[60][61] Prienai withdrew from the Baltic Basketball League upon their arrival and took part in various exhibition games sponsored by his family's sports apparel company, Big Baller Brand.[62]

Greensboro Swarm (2021–2023)
In July 2019, Ball underwent surgery for an ankle injury and missed the NBA Summer League.[80] On December 29, he signed with the Oklahoma City Blue of the NBA G League as a practice player.[81] On March 9, 2020, he signed with the Blue by waiver claim.[82][83] The Blue played just one game, which Ball did not play in, before the remainder of the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[84][85]
On December 2, 2020, Ball was signed to a training camp contract by the Detroit Pistons.[86][87] On December 13, 2020, he was waived without playing in a pre-season game.[88][89][90]
In the summer of 2021, Ball was invited by his brother LaMelo to work out with his team, the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets allowed their players to bring in one workout partner. The Charlotte staff was impressed observing Ball, and he earned a spot on their Summer League team.[91] In his summer league debut, he had five three-pointers in 16 minutes.[92] On October 14, 2021, Ball was signed by the Hornets.[93] However, he was waived the next day.[94]
On October 23, 2022, Ball rejoined the Greensboro Swarm roster for training camp.[100]
Astros de Jalisco (2024–present)
