LiAngelo Robert Ball is the second of the Ball siblings, born on November 24, 1998. LiAngelo is 25 years old, two years older than his younger brother LaMelo, and one year younger than Lonzo.

LiAngelo then prepared himself to declare for the 2018 NBA Draft but would eventually go undrafted. He has since played overseas for Lithuanian Basketball club BC Prienai, in the JBA for the LA Ballers, and now plays for the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA G League.
