The Charlotte Hornets are anxiously hoping that guard LaMelo Ball's left ankle injury isn't serious. The team is cautiously optimistic that Ball doesn't have a significant sprain, per ESPN. He's scheduled to receive an MRI on Wednesday, after getting X rays.
There is some bad news, though, as Ball actually had surgery on his right ankle last year. That means he has injured both of his ankles in less than two calendar years. The Hornets star guard injured his left ankle when stepping on a player's foot in the team's game against the Los Angeles Lakers Monday.
