LiAngelo Ball last played in the G League during the 2022-23 season when he was a member of the Greensboro Swarm.

That year, he averaged 5.7 points and 1.3 rebounds per contest while shooting 39.0% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 11 Showcase Cup games (he also appeared in three regular season games).

Recently, Ball spoke about his basketball future (via The WAE Show).

Ball: "I'm still going... I'm not done... I like the Big3. I might just play in the Big3 because it's during the summer. I just like to hoop. That's it. That would be nice to hoop. I might get in the G League... Try to get pulled up the old fashion way."

Over the offseason, Ball has been seen in a lot of workout videos with his trainer (Sean Towns Jr.).

Via @mcflurrywoo on October 2: "Locked and Loaded 🔐

Moving in Motion. @gelo tapped in like a phone line ☎️

Week by week getting better💪🏾"
