Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball now will be allowed to display the tattoo under his left ear, a reversal of the NBA’s decision to deem that a rule violation, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Ball has the letters “LF” tattooed on his neck, which symbolizes LaFrance, Ball’s middle name and the name of his clothing line and lifestyle brand. In November, the NBA told Ball he had to cover the tattoo since it violated the league’s policy regarding players promoting commercial or corporate logos on their bodies.
