Off the ball: LiAngelo apologises for China shoplifting incident in new episode of family’s reality show
Youngest Ball brothers arrived in Lithuania ahead of making their professional debuts in series of Big Baller Brand Challenge exhibition games
The 19-year-old, the middle son of LaVar Ball and younger brother of LA Laker Lonzo, was one of three UCLA men’s basketball players arrested for shoplifting from a Louis Vuitton store while in Hangzhou as part of the side’s China tour in November.
LiAngelo, who admits that he “f****d up” and let his family down, reveals that he wrote a letter of apology and was asked to read it to camera by police before his release.
LiAngelo and 16-year-old LaMelo recently signed for Lithuanian side Vytautas Prienai to gain experience of professional basketball, although they are yet to make their debuts in European basketball.
