LiAngelo Ball Not Invited to 2018 NBA Draft Combine, Plans to Work Out for Teams

LiAngelo Ball is not listed among the 69 players who will attend the 2018 NBA Draft Combine in Chicago between May 16-20. 

Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania first reported the full list of attendees, which is headlined by Duke forward Marvin Bagley III, Texas Center Mohamed Bamba, Alabama guard Collin Sexton and Missouri swingman Michael Porter Jr.

Citing a source close to Ball, Lonzo Wire's Josh Martin reported LiAngelo was not invited but still intends to work out for teams privately before the NBA draft on June 21. He will also reportedly attend the Pro Basketball Combine at IMG Academy on May 22-23. 

LiAngelo, who left UCLA following a shoplifting scandal in China, spent the last few months in Lithuania playing for Vytautas Prienu alongside his younger brother, LaMelo. 

Over the course of 15 games, Ball averaged 12.9 points and 3.1 rebounds while shooting 42.5 percent from the field and 40.7 percent from three. 

And while he was reportedly scouted by the Los Angeles Lakers—who employ his brother, Lonzo—according to Lithuanian journalist Donatas Urbonas, every indication to this point suggests he will go undrafted on June 21. 

According to ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski, Ball "has no chance" to be one of the top 60 players selected at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. 

"He's not on any of our scouting lists—even the extended lists," one NBA general manager told Wojnarowski.
