You didn't say whether you had gotten him as an adult or a puppy. I am going to guess it was as an adult because it sounds like he wasn't taught how to play with a ball, or possibly a toy of any kind. You might try to get him to chase a stuffed toy that you trail along the ground.
Also, there are toys out there that velcro in the belly that you can put treats in, you could try to get him interested in a toy like that if he is food motivated. Then progress to other toys. I've had a lot of rescues that came from kennels and most never really got the hang of playing with toys.
