LiAngelo Ball may spend 20 days in hotel as punishment for shoplifting
UCLA basketball players LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley are expected to serve 20 days of house arrest for allegedly shoplifting at a Louis Vuitton store in Hangzhou, China, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The punishment is expected to be served at the luxury hotel where UCLA is currently staying, the Hangzhou Hyatt Regency.

LiAngelo’s father, LaVar Ball, and younger brother, LaMelo, are also in China with the team.
Earlier this week, LaVar told reporters that the situation “ain’t that big a deal,” but has been uncharacteristically quiet since.

The players, who were released on bail Wednesday, are reportedly not allowed to leave the hotel.
UCLA’s season-opener against Georgia Tech will still be played on Friday, with or without the three players.
