Moments ago, the Charlotte Hornets' chances to win tonight's game against the Detroit Pistons improved ever-so-slightly. The team announced that Cody Martin has been upgraded to available. However, LaMelo Ball (left ankle/right wrist) and Brandon Miller (left ankle) were downgraded to out.
Ball and Miller last played on December 26th against the Washington Wizards, and as you would expect, the Hornets lost both games they played without them on the floor, falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Chicago Bulls.
Ball currently leads all Eastern Conference guards in All-Star voting and is among the top vote-getters in the East.
