how did lavar ball lose his leg

LaVar Ball lost part of his right leg due to complications from diabetes. He developed an infection in his right foot that spread through his blood because he did not properly manage his diabetes. This led to a series of surgeries where doctors first amputated a few toes, then his foot, and eventually had to remove part of his leg almost up to the knee. He underwent three surgeries and required four blood transfusions during this process. The serious medical condition was worsened by the infection that started in his foot and spread due to neglecting his diabetes care. Despite the severity of his condition, LaVar Ball has shown resilience and credited his family, especially his sons, for helping him through the difficult time.
