LiAngelo Ball is getting another opportunity to make his NBA dream come true — the middle Ball bro has joined LaMelo‘s Charlotte Hornets for the Summer League.
Of course, it’s been a tough road for Gelo, who went undrafted in 2018 — he was picked up as a practice player for the G-League’s OKC Blue in late 2019 and signed to the squad in March 2020 … but the COVID-19 pandemic prevented him from seeing the court.
Ball was given another shot during training camp with the Detroit Pistons in December 2020 … and was cut prior to the first preseason game.
Now, Gelo has the chance to show what he’s got — with the Hornets announcing he’ll be playing for them during Summer League play this offseason.
Ball has shown serious promise when on the court … averaging 12.6 points in Lithuania.
What’s interesting — Gelo’s older bro, Lonzo, is a free agent this summer … and there are rumblings he could end up being teammates with Melo when it’s all said and done.
