There is news spreading across the internet that Tina Bell, Lonzo’s mother, has died after Malik Monk posted a story saying Rip Tina Bell; however, the woman Malik is talking about is not Lonzo’s mother. Let’s explore more about his confusion.
Tina Bell is the mother of a popular basketball player from the Chicago Bulls, Lonzo. Like her son, she was also a basketball player in the past, so it can be said that she was a great influence on him to pursue sports.
Many Tina’s fans believe that she is an excellent player, so she can beat her sons in one on one matches. She is a combo of a talented athlete and a great mother.
It’s not the Ball brother‘s mother. It’s another Tina Ball, still RIP https://t.co/uGszgy72cd

Is Tina Ball Dead? Death Cause
Basketball fans must have come across the news that says Tina Ball had died and is no more; however, this news is false and she is not dead. There are also no reports of her health complications.
All these rumors are the result of a misunderstanding. The Lakers Malik Monk posted a story showing his condolence to a lady named Tina Ball and people mistakenly assumed that woman to be popular former basketball player Tina.
Thus, all news floating across is the result of people’s wrong assumption of an individual who has died. The clarification about this matter can be expected from Malik or Tina’s side any time soon.

Tina Ball Husband Details
LaVar Ball is Tina’s husband; the couple got married in 1997. Like Tina, her husband is also a former sportsman; however, he was not a basketball player, but he was a professional football player.
Thus, it can be said that Ball’s household is filled with athletes, from parents to children. After retirement from football, LaVar is now involved in business and he is co-founder and CEO of Big Baller Brand and founder of the Junior Basketball Association.
LaVar is known for making bold national statements, such as saying he can defeat Micheal Jordon and his son Lonzo is better than Stephen Curry. These statements keep him in highlight.
Someone said it’s his friends mom who just happens to also be named Ball with a mom named Tina. Super unfortunate and eerie either way
