For a minute there Lavar Ball was all over the place from sports shows to social media and though he’s since fallen back from the public view, he’s once again getting attention, but unfortunately, it’s not for entertainment purposes.
According to TMZ, the father of Lonzo Ball, LaMelo Ball and LiAngelo Ball recently underwent surgery to have his foot amputated after dealing with a serious medical issue. Though the family is remaining mum about why exactly Lavar Ball had his right foot removed, the man himself seems to remain in good spirits (as he’s known to be constantly) and just happy to be surrounded by his family through this difficult time.
Per TMZ:
LaVar made a name for himself with his grandiose plans for his sons — he created the Big Baller Brand, which developed signature shoes for all three hoopers.
LaVar made countless headlines for his bold declarations about his kids, but has received praise following their success — Zo and Melo are stars in the Association, and Gelo’s music career is taking off.
He has distanced himself from the spotlight in recent years … but has continued to be his sons’ biggest fan from afar.
Indeed he has. Some may say to their detriment but still, the man obviously loves his sons to death. Also, Gelo having a music hit on his hands was not on our bingo cards at all, but hey, we ain’t mad at him.
Prayers up for Lavar Ball and his family. Get well soon, sir.
