Charlotte Hornets star point guard LaMelo Ball has been added to the team's injury report after Wednesday morning's shootaround, where he was experiencing right ankle soreness. With the Hornets set to play the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, Ball's status is now up in the air since he is questionable for this matchup.
Ball, who missed 60 games during the 2023-24 season due to ankle issues, has yet to miss a game during the 2024-25 season. As a result of still experiencing pain in his surgically repaired right ankle near the end of last season, Ball has opted to wear special ankle braces to try and prevent further ankle injuries.
