Meet LaMelo Ball, who committed to UCLA at 13 2019 PG Melo Ball shares what it's like to be considered one of the nation's best freshman and the lineage of Ball brothers headed to Westwood.

In the latest dramatic development for the Ball family, LiAngelo Ball, the U.C.L.A. freshman basketball player who recently got into legal trouble while in China, will leave the team.“We learned today of LiAngelo Ball’s intention to withdraw from U.C.L.A.,” the Bruins’ coach, Steve Alford, said in a statement. “We respect the decision he and his family have made, and we wish him all the best in the future.”TMZ Sports initially reported the news that LiAngelo Ball would not return, and ESPN later confirmed the news with Ball’s father, LaVar, who said his son was leaving the school entirely. Lonzo Ball, LiAngelo’s older brother, starred for U.C.L.A. last season before departing for the N.B.A. after his freshman year.“We are exploring other options with Gelo,” LaVar Ball told ESPN, using LiAngelo’s nickname. “He’s out of there.” Advertisement Continue reading the main story In the ESPN report, LaVar Ball said that LiAngelo would not be seeking another college team, and would instead begin preparing for the N.B.A. draft.

President Trump, who was on a tour of Asia, personally intervened with President Xi Jinping of China to get the issue settled. The team responded to the incident by suspending Ball and the two other players who were arrested, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill, on an indefinite basis.While Ball made it clear in his public remarks following his return to the United States that he was grateful for the president’s assistance, the situation escalated when LaVar Ball publicly questioned how much help the president had actually delivered.For LaVar Ball, the drama of arguing with the president and having his son leave U.C.L.A. — where his youngest son, LaMelo, is also committed to attend in 2019 — is nothing new.

Some employees have reportedly been calling the enforcement the “LaVar Ball rule”.How the situation at U.C.L.A. will affect Lonzo Ball, a rookie guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, is unknown, but as recently as last night he had been telling reporters that the drama around him was beginning to die down. Asked about the chaos surrounding him and his brother’s legal situation, Lonzo Ball said: “Yeah, it is definitely calming down, given that it happened two weeks ago. When it first happened, it was definitely on me and stuff. But it definitely died down.”
