Charlotte Hornets' star point guard LaMelo Ball is once again facing the challenge of ankle issues that have limited his playing time over the past two seasons. Ball, who has been sidelined since January 26, is contemplating the use of ankle braces to ensure his presence on the court.
Having played only 58 games in the last two seasons due to ankle injuries, Ball is determined to find a solution to his recurring problem. He started wearing ankle braces in practice before this season after undergoing surgery for ankle injuries suffered in the previous season. However, he has yet to find a comfortable and effective solution.
