LaMelo Ball Ruled Out

LaMelo Ball injured his left ankle on October 10, in a preseason game against the Washington Wizards. It was a grade 2 sprain and LaMelo has been reported to likely be out for the first few weeks of the season.

The news of LaMelo being ruled out for tonight’s game against the Pelicans may not come as a surprise, but it’s official now that Charlotte’s young star will miss the Hornets’ second game.

The Hornets’ chances without LaMelo are not good. They struggle to find wins even when their star guard is on the floor.

Still, when LaMelo is available and playing healthy, the Hornets are capable of winning any game they play. Plus, you want LaMelo on the floor so he can continue to develop as a player.

Also, the fans want to watch LaMelo play. He is a highlight reel any time he is out on the floor.
