In a press conference on Wednesday, the players all apologized for shoplifting in China and thanked Trump for helping them return to the United States.
Here’s what Ball had to say:
“I apologize to my family, coaches and teammates at UCLA for letting so many people down.
“I also apologize to the people in China for causing them so much trouble.
“I’m a young man; however, it’s not an excuse for making a really stupid decision.” […]
“I would also like to thank President Trump and the United States government for the help that they provided as well.”
