Ben’s fiancé Maya Jama also gave a look in at Ben, and he’s all smiles.
“Still cute tho”
Training camp normally begins at the end of September. That’s nearly five months away.
Hopefully he’ll finally be ready to resume basketball activities.
Haven’t seen Ben that happy in a long time. Check out more of his better half below:
