LaMelo Ball embroiled in brawl during game in Lithuania
Even after spending part of last winter playing for pro team BC Vytautas, LaMelo Ball might not be the most popular figure in Lithuania.
Playing with the Junior Basketball Association's team representing the USA, Ball was welcomed back to Lithuania with fisticuffs courtesy of a player from opponent BC Dzukija:

Ball was ejected for his part in the altercation.
The game is only the third stop on the JBA USA team's ongoing 28-game tour of Europe and Asia. The fledgling professional outfit launched as a domestic league earlier this year as an offshoot of the Ball family's sportswear company, Big Baller Brand.
