LiAngelo Ball Signs With Hornets, Joining Brother LaMelo Ball

LiAngelo Ball signed with the Hornets on Monday, a day before the team begins training camp for the 2022–23 season.

Terms of the deal were not released by the team.

LiAngelo joins his younger brother, LaMelo Ball, in Charlotte. LaMelo is coming off his first All-Star season in 2021-22 after being named NBA Rookie of the Year in 2020-21. Oldest brother Lonzo Ball currently plays for the Bulls.

So, for the first time, all three Ball brothers will be in the NBA.

The signing increases the Hornets’ roster to the maximum of 20, meaning there will be cuts before the regular season begins on Oct.
