Hornets' LaMelo Ball Sidelined for Weeks with Ankle Sprain

Injury during game against Orlando Magic marks second major setback for Ball's right ankle, potentially impacting Hornets' standing in Eastern Conference.

LaMelo Ball, Charlotte Hornets guard, is expected to miss several weeks due to a right ankle sprain.
Ball injured his ankle during a game against the Orlando Magic, limiting his play to just 15 minutes.
This is not the first time Ball has had issues with this ankle, having fractured it last season which limited him to 36 games.
In Ball's absence, Terry Rozier is expected to start as point guard for the Hornets.
The Hornets, currently with a 5-10 record, could potentially drop further down in the Eastern Conference standings.
