Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball has shown zero rust through the first six games of the 2024-25 season after having missed the last three-plus months of last year's campaign due to lingering ankle injuries.
Ball has scored the ball at an extremely high yet efficient rate, averaging 30.2 points per game, which ranks fourth in the NBA behind only Anthony Davis, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jayson Tatum. He's shooting the ball at a 47% clip from the field and 40% from three-point range, connecting on several difficult shots.
Sam Perley of Hornets.com came across an eye-popping stat following the team's loss on Saturday to the Boston Celtics.
