A judge accepted the settlement in a closed courtroom hearing, but its amount and terms were not disclosed.
A lawsuit involving NBA player LaMelo Ball and Angell Joseph, who alleged the player broke and drove over his foot, has ended after a judge accepted a confidential settlement.
The agreement was accepted during a closed courtroom hearing on Monday, according to Yahoo Sports, which cited The Charlotte Observer. The settlement amount and terms have not been disclosed.
Joseph alleged that Ball injured his foot in 2023 after he approached Ball’s car seeking an autograph. Joseph was 12 at the time.
Joseph and his mother had previously sought $3.75 million. The lawsuit was filed in 2024 and had been scheduled for trial in June.
Joseph has been reported as suffering from complex regional pain syndrome. The allegations against Ball were not established as findings in the supplied material, and no admission of liability was reported.
