LaMelo Ball Doubtful for Hornets’ Game Against Bulls on December 30th Due to Ankle and Wrist Soreness
LaMelo Ball is dealing with soreness in his left ankle and right wrist. This has put him in a doubtful status for the Charlotte Hornets’ next game against the Chicago Bulls on December 30th. The injuries started affecting him recently, and he missed the last game against Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means
If LaMelo Ball misses the upcoming game, it will be a significant setback for the Hornets. He is their top performer, averaging 30.1 points per game this season. His absence would leave a big gap in scoring and playmaking.
The team might rely more on Vasilije Micic and DaQuan Jeffries to fill in at point guard. Micic averages 7.8 points per game, while Jeffries adds another 7.7 points per game. They will need to step up if Ball cannot play.
