Late Thursday evening, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN reported that Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball and his agent Harrison Gaines had “mutually agreed to part ways.” Now, Ball is looking to hire new representation, but he’s reportedly not the one meeting with agents.
Despite Ball’s desire to become his own man, his father LaVar Ball is still making big baller business decisions for the 21-year-old, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports:
The plan was for the Los Angeles Lakers’ second-year guard to become his own man, but LaVar Ball has re-emerged as the shot-caller in orchestrating his son’s next pivotal move, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
