LaMelo Ball Signs His New Exclusive Shoes, Greets Fans in Puerto Rico Following Wolves-Hornets Trade

Puma has released Minnesota Timberwolves guard LaMelo Ball's sixth signature sneaker with the brand, the MB.06 Puerto Rico, exclusively in Puerto Rico.

As part of the launch, Puma and Ball hosted an event Friday in Puerto Rico, Jangueo en Bayamón, where the guard interacted with fans and signed his new sneakers.

Ball was also in attendance with his son, LaOne.

Ball is starting a new professional chapter after the Charlotte Hornets, who selected him with the third overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft, traded him to Minnesota this summer after six seasons. He averaged 20.8 points, 7.3 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game in Charlotte.

Now he's in Minnesota, where he'll team up with Anthony Edwards in the backcourt and hope to lead the Timberwolves to their first-ever NBA Finals appearance.
