JBA teases big announcement regarding league’s future: ‘Stay tuned’

When it was announced that LaMelo Ball was going to return to high school and LiAngelo Ball was going to enter his name in the G League player pool, many assumed that LaVar Ball’s Junior Basketball Association (JBA) had no future.

However, earlier this week, the JBA teased a big announcement through their Instagram that might have put those rumors to bed:

JBA 2019 👀 stay tuned.

What this likely means is that the JBA is returning for its second season. Last year, the JBA played through its inaugural season and the Los Angeles Ballers were crowned champions of the league.

While LaMelo Ball almost certainly won’t be playing, there’s a good chance that LiAngelo will, considering he hasn’t played a game of organized basketball since the conclusion of the JBA World Tour in December.

It’s also possible that standouts like Curtis Hollis and Jordan Ray as they get ready for the next step of their basketball careers. Ray declared for the 2019 NBA Draft in November.

Whatever the announcement might be, it sounds like it will be worth tuning in for. We’ll have more for you when the time comes.
