Lonzo Ball has been injured for the last month, but it hasn't kept his name out of the media almost every day, and it hasn't been because of anything he has done.
His father, LaVar Ball keeps running his mouth, and this time he is talking about Lonzo leaving the Lakers. Per Donatas Urbonas, a Lithuania basketball Journalist, LaVar had this to say about Lonzo resigning with the Lakers:
“Lonzo will be on his 3rd year and I want let every NBA team know, that Lonzo is not going to resign with the Lakers, but will go to any team, that will take all of my three boys.”
For as loud as LaVar is in the media, Lonzo is the exact opposite, and that looks to be the case surrounding this situation. According to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN Lonzo just plans to continue to stick to basketball, and not worry about what his father is saying.
“I did [see it],” Ball said when asked about LaVar's comments to a Lithuanian reporter. “No reaction [to it]. Like I said, I always just play. He always talks. It's always been the same way.”
Even though Lonzo keeps just brushing off what his father has to say, at some point, the Lakers are going to get sick of it, and Lonzo is going to probably have to make a decision if he wants to back his father, or try to distance himself for LaVar.
Lonzo hopes to return to the court after the All-Star break, and at that point hopefully, the headlines will go back to the play on the court, and not the talk off of it.
