LaMelo Ball To Be Suspended Over Controversial NBA Postgame Interview?
LaMelo Ball To Be Suspended Over Controversial NBA Postgame Interview?
LaMelo Ball is no stranger to making headlines. Between his dalliances with adult film stars, relationship with Ana Montana and him getting busted smoking ahead of a game, he is constantly trending for one reason or another.
This week Ball found himself going viral once more, albeit for a less-than-stellar reason.
Following a recent Charlotte Hornets game, Ball participated in a postgame interview.

During that interview, he said this:

“We loaded up — no homo — but that’s when we wanted with the hand up and you with the results,” Ball said.
Because of the league’s past positions on homophobic statements and behavior, many have been wondering whether Adam Silver would step in and suspend Ball.
Thus far the league has yet to comment on the matter.
One way or another, Ball is almost certainly going to get a call from the NBA about this. What his punishment will ultimately end up being remains to be seen.
