Yes.
Here are some examples (not all that likely to occur but you asked if there could be a way).
Player securely holding the ball. Player fakes a pass...fakes the throw and pulls it back such that it slips out of his hands behind his head.
Player in a very low crouch tries to pull the ball from one side of his body to the other and bangs his elbow on his knee. Ball pops out.
Player tries to hold ball in one hand over his head and away from the defender. Player, having sweaty hands, looses control of ball and it slips away to the floor.
