Ball spotted alone

A fan spotted LaMelo Ball walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of October 14, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is LaMelo back on the market?

A rep for LaMelo Ball was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the basketball player was splitting hit the internet Thursday (October 15), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone LaMelo’s phone number?”
