LiAngelo Ball

LiAngelo Ball, the brother of Los Angeles Laker Lonzo Ball, was featured on tickets for the UCLA Basketball team's home game against Cincinnati. Only problem is LiAngelo doesn't play for them anymore. He left the school after getting caught shoplifting while in China. Ball, who was a freshman, never even got a chance to play before his departure from the school. 

Sources: LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball have turned pro, signing one-year contracts with first division Lithuanian team Vytautas. They will report to the club in early January.

Following LiAngelo's departure from UCLA, news that he and younger brother LaMelo, who is of high school age, signed to Lithuanian basketball club Vytautas Prienai began to filter out. The brothers will be making their debut with Prienai on Jan. 9. 

LiAngelo's China shoplifting debacle kicked off a bizarre feud between Donald Trump, who said that he secured LiAngelo's release after speaking with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and LaVar Ball, who has refused to thank Trump for the alleged help. 

UCLA lost the game 77-63.
