NEWS: LaVar Ball’s middle son LiAngelo and two of his teammates, freshmen Cody Riley and Jalen Hill, were arrested in China on Tuesday for alleged shoplifting.
According to ESPN, the players are being accused of stealing from a Louis Vuitton store in Shanghai. 20 local police reportedly showed up to the Hyatt Hangzhou to question players, who were set to play in their season opener in China on Friday. The players were reportedly placed in a room for hours and not allowed to speak to anyone – not even their coaches.
They could face 3-10 years for the shoplifting charge if standard practices apply. The sentencing could shift depending on the amount Chinese authorities are able to prove was stolen.
