LaMelo Ball left a preseason game on Monday with an ankle injury, leaving the Charlotte Hornets unclear about his status with the start of the regular season looming.
Ball sustained the injury in the third quarter against the Washington Wizards. He stepped on the foot of Wizards forward Anthony on a drive and rolled his left ankle. He fell to the floor in obvious pain and remain on his back for several moments.
Ball eventually limped to the locker room, and the Hornets ruled him out with an ankle sprain.
