\n LaMelo Ball will have to settle for life as a franchise player.<\/p>\n

Ball, the potential No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, has lost his bid to become a part-owner of the Illawarra Hawks, the Australian National Basketball League team he played on this past season.<\/p>\n

Though Ball\u2019s business manager, Jermaine Jackson, previously told ESPN it was a \u201cdone deal,\u201d the NBL announced that the Hawks will be taken over by a consortium, headed by former 76ers\/Suns\/Raptors general<\/a> manager Bryan Colangelo.<\/p>\n

Before suffering a season-ending foot injury, Ball, 18, played in 12 game<\/a>s with the Hawks, averaging 17.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.0 assists. The 6-foot-7 point guard was part of the NBL\u2019s Next Stars Program \u2014 he earned roughly $68,400 and was provided an apartment, car, air travel<\/a> and individual development training \u2014 which Colangelo, 55, said attracted him to the league.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaMelo Ball, among others, serves as a great example of just how influential the NBL has become on a global basis,\u201d Colangelo said.<\/p>\n

Colangelo, who resigned as Philadelphia\u2019s president of basketball operations two years ago after his wife admitted to using burner accounts to share sensitive and\/or critical information about the team on Twitter<\/a>, was deemed to be leading the group \u201cbest credentialed to deliver long-term success,\u201d according to NBL owner Larry Kestelman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision in choosing the right owners was not an easy one,\u201d Kestelman said in a statement. \u201cI would like, in particular, to thank LaMelo Ball and his organization for the support and interest shown in wanting to achieve the best outcome for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope we can explore future opportunities with LaMelo and wish him all the best for the NBA Draft in October.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ball reportedly was thrilled with his time in Australia and was eager to help the financially-struggling Hawks.<\/p>\n

\u201cMelo loves the Illawarra fans,\u201d Jackson told ESPN in April. \u201cHe loves that community. They opened their arms to him. They made us feel like we are at home. When we started hearing about the issues they were going through, we talked about it and decided, \u2018Let\u2019s own the team.’\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
