Ball played for Chino Hills High School in California, where he won a state championship and achieved national success as a junior with his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo, who are both current NBA guards. A three-star recruit and UCLA signee, a 2017 suspension for shoplifting led him to forgo college basketball. Ball instead signed with Lithuanian professional team Prienai. He later played in the Junior Basketball Association (JBA), a league founded by his father, before joining the G League at the end of the 2019â20 season. He was briefly signed to the Detroit Pistons in late 2020, but was waived prior to the start of the 2020â21 season. Ball joined the Greensboro Swarm in 2021.
