LaMelo Ball Finds Solution to Explore Minnesota After Multiple Car Crash Cases as Brother Lonzo Reveals His Reckless Driving
LaMelo Ball has hired a personal driver to navigate Minnesota after multiple car-related incidents during his time with the Charlotte Hornets. His older brother Lonzo Ball revealed the solution on Michael Porter Jr.’s Curious Mike podcast.
Lonzo discussed LaMelo’s extensive collection of about 10 cars, noting his habit of purchasing expensive vehicles only to damage them quickly. “He’ll buy a million-dollar car and then just immediately f— it up,” Lonzo said. “You could have just got a be**er and did that.” When asked about accidents, he clarified that LaMelo does not frequently crash but often finds himself in “situations on the road,” referencing a viral February 2026 incident involving his custom Hummer.
“He do need to chill out, but he got a driver now, though,” Lonzo added. The move comes as LaMelo joins the Minnesota Timberwolves following an offseason trade. Having a professional driver aims to reduce risks while he settles into his new city and focuses on forming a backcourt with Anthony Edwards. Family members have previously joked about his driving reputation.
