LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets has been asked by the NBA to cover his tattoo with the initials "LF" due to violation of rules against displaying commercial logos on players' bodies. The NBA and Ball are in ongoing discussions to resolve the issue, with Ball currently covering the tattoo to avoid fines. This is not the first time the NBA has required a player to cover a tattoo, as they previously asked Ball's older brother, Lonzo, to cover his "Big Baller Brand" tattoo in 2018.
