LiAngelo Ball, who turns 23 in November, briefly spent time with the Oklahoma City Blue of the NBA G League in March 2020. However, he did not appear in a game after COVID-19 halted the season.
Ball was in training camp with the Detroit Pistons in 2020 but was waived without appearing in a preseason game. Prior to that, he played overseas and with the Los Angeles Ballers of the Junior Basketball Association following a short stint at UCLA.
