Call it Ball in the family.
For now anyway.
The Charlotte Hornets have signed LiAngelo Ball to a non-guaranteed one-year deal, league sources told The Charlotte Observer on Monday. The move reunites Ball with his younger brother LaMelo just in time for training camp, which begins Tuesday at the Novant Health Training Facility.
The signing of Ball brings the Hornets’ roster to 20, which is the maximum allowed. So in order for them to bring in another player — such as Miles Bridges — they would have to waive someone, with those on non-guaranteed deals being the most likely candidates.
