Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball once again surprised rapper Drake‘s son, Adonis, with his autographed gear, this time a jersey during an adorable interaction shared on Instagram by the team’s official account.
In the viral clip, Adonis enters the visitors’ locker room at Scotiabank Arena with his father, mother and a friend prior to the Hornets’ road loss to the Toronto Raptors, in which Ball did not participate due to injury.
Ball, 22, has not played since January 26 and the team is in no rush to bring him back due to the playoffs looking further away with each loss.
Drake’s son Adonis is LaMelo Ball’s fan
Despite not playing, Ball remains the fan-favorite in Charlotte, especially when it comes to Adonis, who has been following him since he entered the NBA.
Back in 2023, Adonis sketched a picture of Ball, which was later shared on Instagram by Drake. The Hornets guard then sent him a pair of his signature Puma shoes.
