LaVar Ball had his right foot amputated after suffering a “serious medical issue,” TMZ Sports reported on Wednesday.
The Big Baller Brand co-founder, who’s the father of Hornets guard LaMelo Ball, Bulls guard Lonzo Ball and former NBA player LiAngelo Ball, recently underwent a procedure to have his right foot removed and is said to be in great spirits and doing well, according to the report.
There were no further details disclosed as of Wednesday.
Ball, 57, and his sons have yet to publicly address the situation.
The Ball family patriarch has made headlines for being outspoken while championing his sons’ basketball careers.
Lonzo was the second overall pick by the Lakers in the 2017 NBA Draft and LaMelo was the third overall pick by the Hornets in the 2020 NBA Draft.
