2023 had not been the greatest of years for the Ball family, but they received some great news recently when it was revealed that LiAngelo Ball is going to be a father.
Ball and former Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood star Nikki Mudariss are expecting their first child this year, with LiAngelo sharing the news on Instagram.
Ball and Mudariss had kept their relationship private for some time before going public last year. They revealed to people how excited they are to welcome their first child and Ball also spoke about his family’s reaction to the news.
“When I told my mom and pops they were shocked a little bit but I think more so excited than anything,” Ball told People. “My mom was yelling and cheering in excitement. When I told my brothers [NBA stars LaMelo and Lonzo Ball] they were happy for me and also excited to become new uncles to my seed.”
LiAngelo was in Charlotte when he heard the news and headed to Los Angeles to tell his family in person about it. His older brother Lonzo Ball has a daughter, so this will be the second grandchild for LaVar Ball.
LiAngelo hasn’t been able to make his mark on the NBA as his brothers have, but he seems determined to keep playing professionally. Ball was selected with the 14th pick of the G League Draft in 2021 by the Greensboro Swarm and has spent the last two seasons with the franchise.
The Ball Family Has Gone Through Some Rough Times
This is some much-needed good news for a household that has had to go through some dark times over the last year or so. Lonzo has missed the whole of the 2022-23 season and had to undergo a third surgery on his left knee earlier this month.
He is set to miss the whole of the 2023-24 season as well and is looking to be the first player ever to return from cartilage transplant surgery. Younger brother LaMelo Ball was also hampered by injuries this season, and he fractured his ankle in February this year, which ruled him out for the rest of the campaign. This news regarding LiAngelo’s child finally gives them something to be excited about.
