In the first half of Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball exited the game with an ankle injury and has been ruled out for the rest of the night.
Ball drained a three-point shot, and on his way back, he accidentally stepped on the foot of Jared Vanderbilt, causing him to immediately hit the deck. Ball laid there for a second but popped right back up and hobbled down the runway and into the locker room under his own power. There are no further details on the injury at this time, but it could just be a precautionary measure to keep him out for the rest of tonight's contest due to his long history of ankle injuries.
