Having failed to generate any interest from NBA teams, LiAngelo Ball will play in LaVar Ball's Junior Basketball Association.
The news was announced on JBA's Instagram page. LiAngelo will play for the Los Angeles Ballers and make his debut on Thursday.
LiAngelo worked out for the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers after going undrafted. He didn't receive any invitations to summer league.
The 19-year-old enrolled in UCLA last season, but was suspended after he and two teammates were caught shoplifting during a preseason tour in China. LiAngelo withdrew from school to go pro in Lithuania along with his younger brother LaMelo.
