Overview

• LaMelo Ball left the Hornets' game against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday due to right ankle soreness, playing only 10 minutes before exiting.
• This marks another setback for Ball, who has faced multiple ankle injuries this season, including a sprained left ankle that caused him to miss five games recently.
• Ball has appeared in just 33 of Charlotte's 51 games this season, with the team struggling significantly in his absence, holding a 1-17 record without him.
• Despite his injuries, Ball has maintained strong individual stats this season, averaging 27.3 points, 7.2 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game in his 33 appearances.
• The Hornets' next game is scheduled for Wednesday against the Orlando Magic, but Ball's availability remains uncertain as the team approaches the All-Star break.
