LaMelo Ball, the star player for the Charlotte Hornets, is facing a lawsuit after allegedly driving over the foot of an 11-year-old fan, Angell Joseph, following a team event in October 2023. The incident occurred outside the Spectrum Center, where Angell was waiting for an autograph after the Hornets' Purple and Teal Day. According to Angell's mother, Ball did not sign any autographs and sped off in his car, resulting in her son's foot being broken. The family is now suing both LaMelo Ball and the Hornets organization. The lawsuit claims Ball ignored Angell's request for an autograph. The news was reported via @wsoctv.
