[h=1]UCLA players released from custody in China, won’t play Saturday, reports say[/h]LiAngelo Ball and two other UCLA men's basketball players were released early Wednesday in Hangzhou, China, after being held for questioning in an alleged shoplifting incident, ESPN reported, citing an unidentified source.
The players — Cody Riley, Jalen Hill and Ball, who is the younger brother of Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball — will not play in Saturday's game against Georgia Tech in Shanghai, according to The Associated Press, which added that coach Steve Alford declined to discuss the matter beyond that.
"The University came out with a statement, so I won't have any further comment on this other than in answering that question — those individuals won't play on Saturday," Alford said Wednesday in Shanghai.
UCLA's statement, per ESPN, said the university was aware of the incident and cooperating with Chinese authorities.
In a statement issued Tuesday night by Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said the three freshmen were "involved in a situation" in which police were summoned to the team hotel. "UCLA is cooperating fully with local authorities," Scott said, in part.

I'm glad they're released, and I have to admit I was concerned this was going to get ugly. Of course my opinion was molded by our media and their coverage of the legal system in China
I should have known better, but I have to other source for data and no personal experience to draw on for this matter, so I listened to our media
Again, shame on me
PS: You know daddy is going off on China once they set their feet on US soil again

Ball, Riley and Hill were arrested on shoplifting charges on Tuesday as they were accused of allegedly stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store next to the team’s hotel in Hangzhou
Making matters potentially worse for the three arrested Bruins are new details that more stores could be involved in a potential shoplifting spree. According to Markazi’s report, there could be surveillance footage of the UCLA trio shoplifting from two more stores besides the Louis Vuitton store in the high-end shopping center that includes Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Salvatore Ferragamo stores.
