LaMelo Ball attends Lakers, Pelicans game in New Orleans

Back in America after his stint in the National Basketball League, LaMelo Ball has continued taking in games of all levels.

Nearly immediately after returning to the states, Ball made a pair of stops out East, first seeing the Nets and Kyrie Irving play the Chicago Bulls before stopping to see friend and son of handler Jermaine Jackson at LIU Brooklyn.

Since, Ball has been off the radar before popping back up on Sunday. LaMelo was spotted in the Smoothie King Center behind the Pelicans bench to take in the primetime contest against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Ball isn’t the first family member of Lonzo’s to be spotted at a Lakers-Pelicans game. In Lonzo’s return to Los Angeles to meet the Lakers earlier this season, LaVar took a sideline seat next to Rich Paul.

Ball’s rehab from the foot injury that ended his NBL campaign is likely to have completed, meaning he is now in the workout and preparation phase for the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft.
