LaVar Ball Pulls LiAngelo From UCLA Following Suspension Over China Incident

LiAngelo Ball, 19, has remained suspended and has not played for UCLA, prompting LaVar Ball to announce his son would leave the university and seek to enter the National Basketball Association draft next June.

LaVar Ball, the boisterous father of LiAngelo and his two brothers, has pulled his middle son out of the school entirely, ESPN reported Monday.

Asked if LiAngelo agreed with the decision, the elder Ball told the Times, "My boy is loyal to me".
