LaVar Ball said he is not worried after his son LiAngelo was arrested on shoplifting charges in China with two UCLA teammates Tuesday.

"I'm going to wait until I get more intel on what's going on...everyone's making it a big deal. It ain't that big a deal," LaVar said, per Arash Markazi of ESPN.com.

LiAngelo, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill were arrested for allegedly stealing items from a Louis Vuitton store in Hangzhou, China, per Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com.

"We are aware of a situation involving UCLA student-athletes in Hangzhou, China," UCLA said in a statement.
