LaMelo Ball, the youngest brother of Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball, was ejected from a basketball game on Monday for starting a bench-clearing brawl.
While playing for a team representing the Junior Basketball Association, the league started by his father LaVar Ball, LaMelo appeared against Alytaus Dzukija of the Lithuanian league LKL.
After Ball drove to the basket and missed a layup, he appeared to shove defender Mindaugas Susinskas. Susinskas responded by tapping Ball on the back of his head.
Ball then slapped Susinskas in the face and both players started shoving and came to blows. Eventually, multiple members of each team jumped in. Both Ball and Susinskas were ejected.
