LaVar Ball implies that the Lakers will fire Luke Walton if he keeps playing Lonzo Ball less than 35 minutes per game

Sound the alarms and shelve the conspiracy theories about his silence, because LaVar Ball has resumed publicly speaking his mind about his son Lonzo Ball, and how Luke Walton and the Los Angeles Lakers are using him.

While speaking to someone from TMZ — because of course it was TMZ — LaVar essentially implied that the Lakers would or should fire Luke Walton if he doesn’t start playing Lonzo more.

“If he keep playing Lonzo a lot -- over 35 minutes -- he’ll stick around,” Ball says.
