LiAngelo Ball is one of the most notable basketball players to not make the NBA.

His most recent attempt came during the 2022-23 season when he was a member of the Charlotte Hornets training camp roster (and G League team).

At just 25, it's still possible that Ball could end up returning to the G League (or another pro team).

Last season, he had a quick stop with a team in Mexico.
