Timberwolves’ LaMelo Ball hires driver following reckless driving incidents in Charlotte, brother Lonzo says

LaMelo Ball’s extensive car collection has drawn attention since his rise to basketball stardom.

But the Minnesota Timberwolves guard has now decided to employ a personal driver to help him get around his new NBA home, according to his older brother, Lonzo Ball.

During a recent edition of the "Curious Mike" podcast, Lonzo Ball pointed to his younger brother while discussing which member of the Ball family spends the most money with Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr.

"Who in your family out of y'all three spends the most [money]," Porter asked.

"The one who has the most, LaMelo," Lonzo replied.

Having a driver could mean the 25-year-old spends less time behind the wheel and, in turn, has fewer opportunities to be involved in an accident.

Lonzo also suggested LaMelo could benefit from choosing vehicles outside the exotic-car category, rather than Lamborghinis and similar high-performance models he has owned in the past.

"You just bought that? And then you ripped it up? You could've just got a beater," the former Los Angeles Lakers guard noted.

Lonzo then addressed the perception surrounding the frequency of LaMelo’s road incidents , saying his younger brother "doesn’t get into accidents, but he has a lot of situations on the road." The Lakers selected Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

He later played for the New Orleans Pelicans and Chicago Bulls before joining the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2025.

The Cavaliers traded him to the Utah Jazz in February 2026, but the Jazz subsequently waived him before he appeared in a game for the team.

Lonzo's NBA career has been marked by injuries.
