CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball is expected to miss the remainder of the NBA season due to a broken right wrist, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the team has not made the status of his injury public.
The Hornets said in a release earlier Sunday that Ball had an MRI exam in San Antonio that revealed the injury. The team said he would be listed as out indefinitely.
Ball appeared to be hurt after a fall in the Hornets' 125-98 loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles on Saturday.
