After LaMelo Ball and LiAngelo Ball signed with an agent with the intent of playing overseas, Lithuanian club Prienu Vytautas emerged as a potential destination for the Ball brothers.
With the initial report of the Lithuanian club deciding within the next 24-48 hours, the Ball brothers have agreed to one-year deals according to Shams Charania of The Vertical:
LaMelo, 16, and LiAngelo Ball, 19, agreed to deals with Vytautas that will allow the two prospects to start their careers in a competitive professional league with a history of producing NBA players and focus on development. Both will report to the team in early January, sources told Yahoo Sports.
The youngest Ball left Chino Hills High School before his junior season to be home-schooled. As for the second Ball, he recently parted ways with UCLA after receiving an indefinite suspension for the shoplifting incident in China.
As Jonathan Givony of ESPN mentioned in his report, there is a possibility they could be playing for free in a small village. With LaVar Ball trying to get all of his three sons to play for the Los Angeles Lakers, it will be interesting if this is the right step for their basketball careers.
