He's good at any sport () with a ball

He's good at any sport with a ball such as basketball, baseball, and soccer.

I'd like to know before "with a ball" if "that one do" is implied.
Thank you in advance for your help.

It would have to be "that one does ", though "that one plays " would be better and more precise. However, I wouldn't say that this is necessarily implied, or at least not uniquely implied. You could say that "any sport with a ball" means "any sport that utilises a ball", for instance.
