The middle of the three Ball brothers was also waived prior to the 2020-21 season by the Detroit Pistons, and by the Hornets in advance of last season, and has yet to play an NBA game.

In three preseason games with Charlotte, LiAngelo Ball registered 1.0 points, 0.3 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 4.6 minutes per contest.

The 23-year-old last competed for the Hornets' affiliate, Greensboro Swarm of the NBA G League. He averaged 4.6 points and 1.1 rebounds over 28 games (13.2 minutes) last season.

LiAngelo enrolled at UCLA in 2017 but was arrested for allegedly shoplifting in Shanghai, China, before the season opener and was suspended by the team. He withdrew from school and was not selected in the 2018 NBA Draft.

He played professionally in Lithuania in 2018 and later competed from 2018-19 for the Los Angeles Ballers in the Junior Basketball Association, a league founded by his father, LaVar Ball.
