LaMelo Ball Sued for Allegedly Injuring Young Fan with Car

The lawsuit claims the NBA star drove over a 12-year-old's foot during a Charlotte Hornets fan event, causing severe injuries.

The incident occurred on October 7, 2023, during the Hornets' 'Purple and Teal Day' event at Spectrum Center.
The boy, Angell Joseph, approached Ball's car for an autograph when the light turned green, and Ball allegedly drove off.
Joseph's mother, Tamaria McRae, claims the injuries led to significant physical and emotional distress for her son.
The lawsuit also names the Charlotte Hornets, alleging inadequate security and crowd control at the event.
McRae is seeking over $25,000 in compensatory damages for medical expenses and emotional suffering.
