LaMelo Ball had a special little fan in the stands on Sunday night: his 9-month-old son, LaOne!
The NBA star’s girlfriend, Ana Montana, brought their baby boy to the Minnesota Timberwolves’ game against the Toronto Raptors on October 25 and shared photos and videos from the outing on Instagram.
“One’s 1st game,” Montana wrote over a clip of her carrying LaOne through the arena.
The infant wore a miniature Timberwolves jersey with “BALL” across the back and wore headphones to protect his ears from the arena noise.
After the Timberwolves defeated the Raptors 117-94, Montana shared an Instagram Stories photo of herself holding her son close.
“A win for his 1st game,” she wrote.
Ball scored 15 points and dished out eight assists to help Minnesota secure its third straight win of the season.
The NBA star recently made headlines for his comments about his role as a father. During an appearance on NBA Tip-Off, Ball revealed that Montana handles most of their son’s diaper changes.
He quickly clarified, “I done did it before, you feel me? I definitely did it before. It’s just, it’s just not my job, you know what I’m saying?”
The 25-year-old explained that he and Montana “got a good gameplan going on. So I know what I gotta do and bring to the table, she know what she gotta do and bring to the table.”
The couple welcomed LaOne in January 2026 but waited until Mother’s Day to announce his arrival. Montana, who conceived her son through IVF, marked the occasion with an Instagram post about becoming a mother.
“Motherhood looks different for everyone. Mine took hope, faith, resilience, and trusting God even when I didn’t understand the journey,” she wrote.
Her experience inspired her to create I Am Fertility, a nonprofit that supports families facing fertility challenges. The organization launched with a $10,000 Hope Grant to help two families with the cost of fertility treatment.
