Frustrated LaVar Ball on Hornets not signing LiAngelo Ball, ‘They need to let my boy go ahead and play’

Share

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Charlotte Hornets have really been ballin 'out this season, no pun intended. But Lavar Ball, father of current Hornets player Lamelo Ball, thinks otherwise.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">LaVar feels that the organization is passing on the pairing of LaMelo and his brother LiAngelo — who currently plays for the G League counterpart. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Hornets have decided to keep LiAngelo in the G League and don't offer him a contract. LaVar Ball can't contain how he feels about that. </span><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/11/26/lavar-ball-liangelo-charlotte-hornets-g-league-nba/"><span style="font-weight: 400">In an interview with TMZ</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, he was asked about the team's decision, and he seems unimpressed with it.  </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">LaVar went on to say, "They need to let my boy go ahead and play," as he added. "I dropped them a superstar in the G League and they don't know what to do with him."</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Additionally, when asked where he plans to go on next for LiAngelo if the Hornets passes </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">“I already said the Lakers, but then they got rid of Zo,” LaVar told.“Then I said Charlotte, you got him in your backyard. Bring him in, let him play with Melo. Now, I got a new destination: LA Clippers, here we go!”</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Will LiAngelo make a roster spot for the Hornets and finally pair the two Ball Brothers? Or will LaVar persuasively convince the Clippers to sign him up? </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Only time will tell, but as of date, LiAngelo has averaged 9.3 ppg for the G League affiliate of the Hornets. He also had a game-high 22 points against the Birmingham Squadron.  </span>
