LaVar Ball, the loud-spoken father of Lonzo, LiAngelo, and LaMelo, recently underwent a procedure to have his right foot amputated, according to TMZ.
A photo posted to the site showed Ball's amputation appears to be below the knee.
Fox News Digital reached out to Ball for comment.
Ball was outspoken as his eldest son, Lonzo, burst onto the scene with UCLA — he was eventually the second overall pick in the NBA Draft — and eventually hyped his sons up to incredible heights.
