Bad news for everyone who enjoyed not hearing about the Ball Family for the past couple months: LaVar, LiAngelo, and LaMelo are coming back to the states. Lithuanian basketball insider Donatas Urbonas reports the Big Ballers are leaving the team next week due to LaVar having issues with the head coach of BY Vytautas.
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.

What got LaVar all pissy? Apparently his boys weren’t receiving adequate playing time so he’s yanking them from the squad.
“We’re not going to waste our time no more,” said the Big Baller Brand head.
"We're not going to waste our time no more", LaVar told. LiAngelo injured his ankle, LaMelo didn't get any playing time, so LaVar decided to take all his sons back to LA. Lonzo is visiting his family in Prienai right now. They're 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 didn’t get any playing time in the end of the season

LaMelo averaged 6.5 points and 2.4 assists in a little over 12 minutes per game while future NBA shooting guard LiAngelo faired much better, as he averaged 12.6 points and shot three pointers at a 41.5 percent clip.
According to LaVar, the head coach, Virginijus Šeškus, “ruined everything” and will have to “pay the price”… whatever that means.
LaVar Ball confirmed LaMelo is not going back to Prienai next season: “You really ask me this? Coach ruined everything and he’ll have to pay the price that Melo is not coming back.”
