The Charlotte Hornets will be without their franchise star for the foreseeable future.
LaMelo Ball is dealing with a calf strain and will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks for the injury. This is a tough blow for Ball, who has been showing out in 2024-25.
The youngster is averaging a career-high 31.1 points to go along with 6.9 assists and 5.4 rebounds while shooting 35.6% from three-point land. LaMelo missed Friday's NBA Cup clash with the New York Knicks due to the calf injury. The Hornets have lost four in a row and sit at 6-13 overall.
