A mother is suing LaMelo Ball and his team, the Charlotte Hornets, after the 22-year-old NBA star allegedly hit her son with his car.
The lawsuit was filed in the County Superior Court in Mecklenburg, North Carolina, by Tamaria McRae, the mother of Angell Joseph.
Ball "looked directly" into Joseph's face while he was stood beside his car before speeding away when the light changed, according to the lawsuit. It also says that some of his injuries may be of "permanent nature" and he may "undergo great physical pain and mental anguish for the rest of his life." McRae is said to have to spend "large sums of money for medical attention" for Joseph.Ball has not made any public statements about the incident.
"When you see your children hurt, it hurts you," McRae told WSOC. "It's been rough. It's been real rough. I mean like I'm a strong person. This broke me. This right here, it really did."The lawsuit also alleges the Hornets failed to "provide adequate security and pedestrian control measures in the Spectrum Center employee exit."
