LaVar Ball Undergoes Foot Amputation Following Serious Health Issue

The 57-year-old father of NBA stars Lonzo and LaMelo Ball is reportedly in good spirits after the procedure, though the cause remains undisclosed.

  • LaVar Ball, known for championing the careers of his sons Lonzo, LaMelo, and LiAngelo, had his right foot amputated due to an undisclosed medical issue.
  • The procedure was reported by TMZ, with sources stating that Ball is recovering well and maintaining a positive outlook.
  • Neither LaVar nor his sons have publicly commented on his health, though LaMelo shared a supportive post on Instagram before a game this week.
  • LaVar, a former athlete and founder of Big Baller Brand, has largely stepped back from the public eye in recent years but remains a prominent figure in his sons' lives.
  • The Ball family has faced health challenges before, including Tina Ball's 2017 stroke, which led to her ongoing recovery from aphasia.
