Court filings reveal how much money a family is asking for in a civil lawsuit accusing Charlotte Hornets star and controversial driver LaMelo Ball of running over and breaking a child fan\u2019s foot<\/a> outside the Spectrum Center years ago.<\/p>\n

Angell Joseph\u2019s mother filed a lawsuit<\/a> against the Hornets and Ball asking for a previously undisclosed amount<\/a> in damages for her child, who she says now suffers from \u201cdebilitating\u201d complex regional pain syndrome. In a late May motion asking for a judge to divide parts of the boy\u2019s claims ahead of trial, Ball\u2019s attorneys revealed the boy and his mother last demanded $3.75 million.<\/p>\n

A trial in the case is scheduled to begin June 15. A judge previously dismissed<\/a> the Hornets from the case.<\/p>\n

Ball denies he ever ran over<\/a> the 12-year-old boy\u2019s foot. He has hired several attorneys to fight the lawsuit. He has also asked the boy and his family to pay<\/a> his attorneys fees.<\/p>\n

In April, a Mecklenburg County Superior Court judge ordered Ball to stop canceling his depositions, or legal interviews. Cameron deBrun \u2014 who represents Joseph and his mother, Tamaria McRae \u2014 said he spent 60 hours over four attempts trying to schedule a time to talk to Ball and compel discovery in the case.<\/p>\n

In his late May motion, deBrun said those scheduling issues cost $21,000.<\/p>\n

Christi Hunoval, representing Ball alongside Erin Young, said that mischaracterized what really happened. One deposition was rescheduled when Ball needed to see a doctor after a May 2025 injury. Another was rescheduled due to confidentiality issues with Ball being a \u201cpublic figure,\u201d Hunoval wrote.<\/p>\n

Hunoval also represents Ball\u2019s manager, Jermaine Jackson, in a separate civil case involving Jackson\u2019s eviction from the uptown apartment he rents. The apartment neighbors Ball\u2019s, and, like Ball\u2019s, it used to be owned by Carolina Panthers star quarterback Cam Newton.<\/p>\n

Jackson was evicted<\/a> in Mecklenburg County\u2019s small claims court, and a civil lawsuit in superior court remains pending.<\/p>\n
