He spoke about his basketball future.

LiAngelo: "I want to get a call from the G League just so I can open them doors up again... I'm gonna wait a little longer for the G League."

The former UCLA forward spoke about still wanting to play with his brothers (Lonzo Ball and LaMelo Ball).

In addition, Lonzo revealed that LiAngelo has had offers from teams overseas.

Lonzo: "He's not going overseas... We already got him great deals overseas that he's shot down... I wanted him to go overseas. He didn't want to go overseas."
