LaVar Ball doesn't have a worry in the world, especially not in Lithuania.

His sons LaMelo, 16, and LiAngelo, 19, are set to play in the European country starting January after inking one-year deals with Prienu Vytautas.

Asked about the challenges that could arise in a place where he doesn't speak nor understand the official language, LaVar told TMZ Sports:

"There's not going to be a struggle at all. Who cares (about the language barrier)? We're going to play basketball. Cheer for a hoop."

LiAngelo nodded when asked if he's excited about the new opportunity. His father recently pulled the freshman shooting guard out of UCLA due to frustration over his indefinite suspension from the basketball program stemming from his shoplifting arrest in China.
