LaMelo Ball and his manager, Jermaine Jackson, have purchased the Illawarra Hawks of the Australian NBL.

"We own the team," Jackson said. "It's a done deal."

No financial details were revealed, and the team has not commented on the sale.

Ball signed with the club in August as part of the league's Next Stars program.

Ball will likely be a top-5 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
