The trademark filing doesn't include footwear, so it's possible Ball could sign a traditional sneaker deal, ESPN's Nick DePaula reports.
Ball distanced himself from Big Baller Brand in the aftermath of the scandal in 2019 involving co-founder Alan Foster, though his signature ZO2 shoe is still being sold through Big Baller Brand's online store.
Ball's younger brother, LaMelo, recently started his own clothing line called LaFrance.
