NBA News Roundup, Tuesday, September 24th: Miami Heat still want Chris Paul, Lonzo Ball addresses his relationship with LaVar and more

Lonzo Ball addresses his relationship with his father

Lonzo Ball spent his first two seasons in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers

It is no secret that the relationship between Lonzo Ball and his father LaVar has been heading in the wrong direction recently. Back in April, Lonzo filed a lawsuit against Big Baller Brand co-founder Alan Foster after allegations of fraud.

The point guard subsequently distanced himself from the Big Baller Brand, and during the latest episode of Ball in the Family, Lonzo admitted that his relationship with LaVar remains strained:

Our relationship is not how it's been in the past. So, we're not really talking too much right now. I really don't know how he feels. But I know he wants just the best for me. He should be happy. I don't know.

After spending two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, Ball was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans earlier this summer. LaVar reacted by stating that the Lakers' decision to trade his son would turn out to be 'the worst move they ever made'.
