Even before he became embroiled in an international incident that clouded his future, one UCLA freshman basketball player’s college career figured to be a short one.
“Balls only go to school for one year,” LaVar Ball, the father of Bruins shooting guard LiAngelo’s Ball, told The Times last week after his middle son scored 11 points off the bench during an exhibition game. “We’re one and done no matter what.”
LiAngelo Ball was among three Bruins freshmen who remained Thursday at a hotel in Hangzhou, China, while awaiting legal proceedings involving their role in the alleged theft of designer sunglasses.
