Ball Family Rebukes Alan Foster Over Allegation That Lonzo's Ankle Issues Are Worse Than Advertised

Lonzo Ball might be out of Los Angeles, but the drama surrounding his family and its Big Baller Brand has followed him to New Orleans.

Alan Foster, whom the Ball family is currently suing over allegations of various financial crimes, debuted a YouTube channel-- and among other things, he's using it to provide his version of the facts as it relates to money-laundering accusations against him. He also took a shot at LaVar Ball, claiming that he and the Los Angeles lakers did not take proper care of Lonzo's ankle injury.

The Pelicans point guard, through a family spokesperson, vehemently denied all those allegations.

“Alan Foster has repeatedly lied, defrauded and stole from the Ball family," said a family spokeperson. "Anything he says cannot be trusted.”

“The team strongly debunks this and was very aware of Lonzo’s injury history and status", said the Pelicans via a subsequent official release related to Foster's latest claims.

Injury or no injury, Ball is playing some inspired basketball, and looks reborn under Alvin Gentry.

Foster is currently being investigated for laundering money from a multi-million dollar company, so he isn't exactly the kind of guy one would call trustworthy. His comments on Lonzo's status should be taken with heaping grains of salt.
