LiAngelo, LaMelo Ball to Go Pro in Lithuania

The Ball family is going international.

LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball both signed  one-year deals  to play professional basketball in Lithuania.   Their father, LaVar Ball, had  already pulled  both of them out of their respective schools.  LiAngelo left UCLA this month after being suspended from the team for shoplifting while in China.  President  Donald Trump  stepped in to help get LiAngelo and two of his teammates back to the U.S.

If you remember, Trump and LaVar had a very  public spat  about that.  And LaVar pulled LaMelo out of  high school  in October — with the goal of training LaMelo for the NBA.  SEE MORE: Lonzo Ball's Brother LaMelo Is Selling $400 Shoes, Risking NCAA Future LaVar said he wants both sons to play in the NBA, and ideally, he wants the Los Angeles Lakers to draft them so they can play alongside their older brother Lonzo.  But unlike Lonzo, who entered the league as the No. 2 pick, scouts have cast doubt on the younger brothers' prospects.
