Detroit Pistons have glittered their rooster after reportedly agreeing on a non-guaranteed deal with LiAngelo Ball for a year. 

As per The Athletic, the contract has an Exhibit 10 clause, which is for the minimum salary and could be converted into a two-way deal, allowing the player to go between the NBA team and its G League affiliate.

If the 22-year-old is waived after training camp, he could join the Grand Rapids Drive and receive a bonus.

Not being selected in the 2018 NBA draft, Ball, the brother of two recent top-three draft picks, spent time playing in different leagues in the United States. He played with the Los Angeles Ballers in the Junior Basketball Association, the league started by his father, LaVar Ball. 

He was that league’s All-Star Game co-MVP and the league finals MVP in 2019. But he suffered an ankle injury and needed surgery shortly thereafter.

Ball spent part of last season with the Oklahoma City Blue, the Thunder’s G League affiliate. He played just one game before the season was ended due to the pandemic.

Ball’s older brother, Lonzo, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft and now plays for the New Orleans Pelicans. His younger brother, LaMelo, was taken as the third pick in this year’s draft by the Charlotte Hornets.   

The 6-foot-5 wing player will be hoping to become a major part of Pistons’ rebuilding phase. The Detroit team is coming on the back of a 20-46 record last season and have missed the playoffs nine times in the past 11 years.
