LaMelo Ball made sure to stop by and see how his dad was doing prior to torching the Lakers on Wednesday … saying “it was only right” to check in on LaVar after his recent foot amputation.
The Charlotte Hornets star shared the pic on Thursday … showing him posing with his famous dad — who was standing with help from a knee scooter — at what appeared to be their Chino Hills home.
“seen my dawg b4 da game it was only right i love u pops 5L and after,” Melo said on Instagram.
It’s the first time a Ball bro has publicly acknowledged LaVar’s condition … but as TMZ Sports previously reported, LaVar looked to be in a great mood despite the life-changing procedure.
Ball went on to score 27 points in the win over the Purple and Gold at the Crypto.com Arena … adding five rebounds and six assists.
The 23-year-old did not speak with the media about LaVar’s condition after the outing … but it’s great to see he was able to make time and check in on his old man.
