Lonzo Ball hires CAA as new representation

Four days after severing ties with agent Harrison Gaines, Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball has hired Hollywood agency CAA, he told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne on Monday.

"After thinking about this decision over the last few weeks, I concluded that CAA made the most sense for my career both on and off the court," Ball said. "With CAA now in place to manage my basketball career, I can focus my attention and energy on training for the upcoming season."

Ball parted ways with Gaines last week, saying the decision wasn't related to a lawsuit against Big Baller Brand co-founder Alan Foster.

CAA represents many prominent Hollywood names and media figures. The company's list of NBA clients includes Chris Paul, Joel Embiid, Devin Booker, and Paul George.
