LaMelo Ball was well on his way to winning rookie of the year this season although after fracturing his wrist back in March, it seemed as though his campaign could be in trouble. The team was convinced that he was done for the season although his wrist healed extraordinarily quick, which allowed him to make his return on Saturday night, where the team ended up defeating the Detroit Pistons. This game ultimately helped put the Hornets one step closer towards making the playoffs.
Melo ended up scoring 11 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds which was a very solid effort considering he had been away for so long.
