LaVar, 57, was an outspoken advocate for his three sons — LaMelo, LiAngelo and Lonzo, who plays for the Bulls — early in their playing careers, though he has taken a step back from the public eye in recent years.

LaVar Ball has had his right foot amputated after suffering from a serious medical issue, according to TMZ. The 57-year-old father of basketball stars Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball, is reportedly ‘in great spirits and doing well’ despite the operation.
