Overview

• 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.
