Lavar Ball, the speaker father of Lonzo, Liangelo and Lamelo, recently underwent a procedure to get his right foot amputated, according to TMZ.
A photo sent on the spot showed that Ball’s amputation appears to be below the knee.
Pakinomist Digital reached Ball for Comment.
Ball was obvious when his eldest son, Lonzo, burst out on stage with UCLA – he was eventually the second overall choice in the NBA draft – and eventually hyped his sons up to incredible heights.

The father, who also appeared in WWE, even said he would beat Michael Jordan in a one-on-one.
His most successful son, despite Liangelo’s recent smash hit “Tweaker”, which Lil Wayne recently remixed is undoubtedly Lamelo, which average 27.3 points and 7.2 assists this season, his fifth in the NBA.
Lamelo was the third election of the NBA draft in 2020, three years after Lonzo was elected, to Charlotte Hornets, where he still plays. Lamelo played professional abroad for a year of Liangelo instead of playing in college.

Lavar is the CEO of the Great Baller brand that he and his sons have constantly represented. He was a practice team member of both the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, but never played in an NBA game.
Lonzo is currently a guard for Chicago Bulls. He missed the entire seasons 2022-23 and 2023-24 due to injuries.

Lavar entered a feud with President Donald Trump during his first presidency after Liangelo and other UCLA teammates were arrested for store lift in China. In fact, Lavar went so far as to say that Trump would not have lost the 2020 election if the two had never celebrated.
