LaVar Ball pulled his sons, LaMelo and LiAngelo, off of their Lithuanian basketball team Wednesday.

Lithuanian basketball reporter Donatas Urbonas had several tweets explaining why the head of the Ball family removed his sons from BC Vytautas. It sounds like it mostly came down to LaVars disapproval of the head coach and injuries to the both of them.

Ball reality show comes to an end. BC Vytautas confirmed that Ball brothers are set to leave Lithuania next week, with two LKL regular season games left to play. BC Vytautas still will be fighting to avoid relegation.

“Were not going to waste our time no more”, LaVar told. LiAngelo injured his ankle, LaMelo didnt get any playing time, so LaVar decided to take all his sons back to LA. Lonzo is visiting his family in Prienai right now. Theyre set to leave Sunday-Monday.

LaVar added that they had to shut down Gelo for the season in order to prepare better for NBA draft combine, pre-draft camps and so on. But he was mad that Melo didnt get any playing time in the end of the season

LaVar Ball told he was happy with the Lithuania, its people and BC Vytautas organization: “I just didnt get along with the coach”

LaVar Ball confirmed LaMelo is not going back to Prienai next season: “You really ask me this? Coach ruined everything and hell have to pay the price that Melo is not coming back.”

Well, I guess the Lithuania experiment was fun while it lasted, and it lasted way longer than I think most people probably would have anticipated.

LiAngelo is currently in the 2018 draft. Odds of him getting picked arent high at all. If I had to guess, youll be seeing LiAngelo in the G-League next year.

As for LaMelo, I dont have a single clue where hell end up. He blew away his college eligibility by going to Lithuania, he has lots of talent, could play on a solid team overseas but there are a lot of variables. Can he hold up overseas? Does he want to?

I dont know, but well be tuning in to find out. LaVar sure does know how to get ratings.
