According to Michael Scotto of hoopshype.com, Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball is likely to be in trade rumors heading into the offseason. The Dallas Mavericks moved on from Luka Doncic due to the franchise's concern with his conditioning and injury history. Ball's injury history is just as lengthy as Doncic's at this point, so Charlotte could potentially pivot during the offseason.
Predicting LaMelo Ball's future
Through 60 games, the Hornets have won 14 contests, and Ball has played in 38. He has not impacted winning at this level yet.
