LaVar Ball Walks on New Prosthetic in Public Videos, Declares 'Big Baller's Back'

The Big Baller Brand founder credits a fresh Hanger Clinic fitting for restoring his mobility.

Overview

  • Videos posted Tuesday to Big Baller Brand's Instagram show Ball leaving a Hanger Clinic in Southern California and walking unaided on his new prosthetic.
  • Ball praises the clinic staff in the clips, saying he "came in there rollin'," and "came out strollin'" as he beams about his progress.
  • This marks his first public appearance walking with a prosthetic since below-the-knee amputation procedures in February 2025.
  • Ball previously described staged surgeries—first toes, then his foot, then near the knee—and four blood transfusions after a diabetes-related infection he said worsened when he delayed care.
  • He has said support from sons Lonzo, LaMelo, and LiAngelo helped him persevere through the surgeries and rehabilitation.
