LaVar Ball Has Foot Amputated After Medical Issue

LaVar Ball — the father of basketball stars Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball — had his foot amputated after suffering a serious medical issue, TMZ Sports has learned.

We’re told the Ball family patriarch underwent a recent procedure to have his right foot removed … but despite it all, he is in great spirits and doing well.

LaVar made a name for himself with his grandiose plans for his sons — he created the Big Baller Brand, which developed signature shoes for all three hoopers.

He has distanced himself from the spotlight in recent years … but has continued to be his sons’ biggest fan from afar.

LaVar was a college sports star in his own right — he played at Cal State-Los Angeles … and spent time with the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers organizations.
