LaMelo Ball Reportedly Set to Sign Deal with PUMA
Looks like LaMelo Ball won’t be lacing up his dad’s Big Baller Brand joints in his first game… The top NBA Draft prospect is reportedly finalising a sneaker deal with PUMA.
Reports from The Athletic suggest that the discussions are reaching a conclusion, with an announcement from PUMA set to be made some in the very near future. The deal would mark the first time a Ball brother has signed for a rival sneaker brand.
Considering the issues Lonzo had with BBB, we’re not at all surprised.

The latest deal would be another win for the Big Cat, who’ve made strong moves in the basketball market since their re-entry. LaMelo would further bolster PUMA’s current player roster, which already boasts big names Kyle Kuzma, RJ Barrett, and Deandre Ayton.
Stay tuned for developments.
