Ball’s first introduction to Powerhandz occurred by happenstance in 2019 when he began using its patented anti-grip weighted gloves to train in Los Angeles. He told manager and trainer Jermaine Jackson about the product because he wanted to buy a pair before going to Australia to play for the Illawarra Hawks. After feeling his physical strength challenged wearing the brand’s weighted Powersuit, Ball sought to get more involved in the company and its The Power to Give Foundation supporting youth athletes.

Ball, who averaged 15.7 points per game and 6.1 assists per game last season (51 games), said he’s relying on Powerhandz products this offseason to get stronger and to regain full mobility in his wrist after fracturing a bone in his right wrist in late March.

Love it. Hope he's killing it in the weight room too.

Let's hope he gets that wrist mobility back as it was killing his 3 ball after he came back!

I've never been a "Ball Family" fan, I'm too old for that but LaMelo was legitimately one of the more entertaining players for me to watch in the last 10 years. Rooting big time for this kid and you'll have a bandwagon Celtic fan here for it.

I despise it when people make post like this. Such a joke when people go back in time and try to do the whole "told ya so" ordeal as if others are never meant to have differing opinions.

FWIW their own source took issue with the phrasing.

I don't know if this means anything but he was still playing with his wrist during the game.
