LaMelo Ball Questionable for Hornets with Ankle and Wrist Soreness
LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets is dealing with soreness in his left ankle and right wrist. His status is questionable for upcoming games. This means there is uncertainty about whether he will play. The injury was noted on December 27, 2024.
What It Means
This news impacts both LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets significantly. LaMelo has been a key player this season, averaging 30.1 points per game, along with 5.3 rebounds and 7.4 assists. He ranks high in many areas, including finishing in the top five among players in points for nearly half of his games.
If LaMelo cannot play, the Hornets might need to rely more on their other point guards like Vasilije Micic or DaQuan Jeffries. Micic averages 20.9 minutes per game while Jeffries averages 19.5 minutes per game. Their scoring numbers are lower than LaMelo’s, so the team might face challenges without him on the court.
