LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are still trying to work their way into the NBA like their older brother Lonzo, and they are taking new steps in their basketball careers in hopes of making that a reality.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, LiAngelo — the middle of the three Ball brothers — is planning to enter a player pool to sign a contract with an NBA G League team.

LaMelo, the youngest Ball brother, is going to return to high school after playing overseas with LiAngelo in Lithuania.
LaMelo Ball will return to the States to play high school basketball at Spire Institute in Ohio, as Ball family announces through Slam. Ball, 17, will return for pro scouts to view — including a January matchup against Oak Hill and top prospect Cole Anthony.

LiAngelo went undrafted back in June, though there was one team that may have come close to selecting him in the second round. Neither LiAngelo nor LaMelo is considered as solid of an NBA prospect as Lonzo was, but both are determined to play in the league.
