Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball is expected to miss the rest of the season with a fracture to his right wrist, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Hornets announced Sunday evening that Ball underwent an MRI and an initial diagnosis revealed a fractured bone in the wrist. The team said Ball would be "listed as out indefinitely," and that additional updates would be provided when available.
Ball, considered a frontrunner for NBA rookie of the year, is seeking a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis, a source told Wojnarowski.
Ball, 19, appeared to suffer the injury in a fall early during Saturday night's 125-98 loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles.
