It's a stunning move ... LiAngelo Ball will no longer be on the UCLA basketball team and in fact he will not be a student at UCLA ... because his father Lavar Ball is removing him from the institution.

As you know, LiAngelo was indefinitely suspended from the team after he stole sunglasses from several stores during a trip to China. LiAngelo was placed on house arrest but was sprung after Trump and others went to bat for him.

We're told Lavar believes the suspension was unfair, especially since the charges were dropped. Lavar's people tell TMZ the famous dad thinks "There's no need to break down a kid's spirit for making a mistake."

Our sources say LiAngelo is not officially withdrawn from the school but he's at home and will not return to UCLA.

LiAngelo was a freshman and never actually played a game for the team.

:ohhh:

This is smart on both sides.
LiAngelo isn't a high D1 talent. He is more a mid-major player. Ain't nothing wrong w/ that. Could still make the league after 3 or 4 good years.

Hell, the only reason he got a scholarship is because UCLA had to give him and LaMelo one to get Lonzo there.

So he brings nothing to the court. Now he's already brought international scrutiny and you know UCLA alumni and donors aint want him there anymore. I'm pretty sure this was a "forced resignation"-type deal

I would expect LaMelo's scholarship to get revoked too

I agree with this. I haven't seen somebody so out of place on a major Conference roster since Lil Romeo suited up for USC
