President Trump personally asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to help three UCLA men’s hoopsters — including the younger brother of Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball — who were busted for shoplifting while in Hangzhou for a tournament last week, the Washington Post reported Monday.

Trump brought up the arrests during his state visit to Beijing, arriving a day after the three freshmen were accused of stealing designer sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store.

Guard LiAngelo Ball, brother of the Lakers rookie, and forwards Cody Riley and Jalen Hill did not play in the team’s win over Georgia Tech on Saturday in Shanghai.

Chinese authorities reportedly have surveillance video, and ESPN reported that the trio could be detained for two weeks.

Xi promised to look into the case and ensure that the players are treated fairly, a US official told the paper.
