LiAngelo Ball, the middle brother of Lonzo and LaMelo, on Friday expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to play with the Charlotte Hornets in the Las Vegas Summer League. Ball was among the players named to the Hornets’ roster for their upcoming stint in Las Vegas, which will begin on Sunday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been with the team this week participating in practice ahead of the start of summer league. The 22-year-old last appeared with the Detroit Pistons during training camp last season. He was eventually waived and did not play elsewhere prior to joining the Hornets last week. Ball said he is not taking the opportunity with Charlotte for granted.
