LaMelo Ball is one of the best young stars in the NBA.
However, the Charlotte Hornets point guard has struggled to stay healthy since being selected with the third pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Ball finished last season with averages of 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.8 steals per contest while shooting 43.3% from the field and 35.5% from the three-point range in 22 games.
Ball is entering the first year of his massive contract extension, and he will be paid $35.1 million for the 2024-25 NBA season.
He has five seasons on his contract that will pay him over $200 million.
