Video: LaMelo Ball Ejected for Slapping Opponent in Face During JBA Fight
LaMelo Ball was ejected from a JBA international game Monday against Lithuanian side Alytaus Dzukija.
In the third quarter, Ball appeared to take exception of a shot contest by Dzukija forward Mindaugas Susinskas. Susinskas tapped Ball on the back of the head, and Ball responded by slapping Susinskas. Players from both teams intervened to separate the two.
Ball and Susinskas had crossed paths before when the former was a member of BC Vytautas for a brief spell. Vytautas and Dzukija played in January as part of the Big Baller Brand Challenge, with Ball dropping 43 points in a 147-142 victory.
Ball and his brother LiAngelo left Vytautas in April and have since joined the JBA, a professional league founded by LaVar Ball and sponsored by the family's Big Baller Brand.
Monday's game was the second leg of a 28-game international tour for the JBA. A second game in Lithuania is scheduled for Thursday.
