An eye-opening report from Kelly Iko of Yahoo! Sports indicated that Hornets guard LaMelo Ball was growing “increasingly frustrated” with the team amid its 4–11 start, and would be “open to” a trade out of Charlotte.
It seems Ball himself has caught wind of those reports, and he was quick to nip it in the bud. Ball saw the report on X, formerly Twitter, and quote tweeted it with a clown-face emoji, effectively suggesting there was no truth to the report.
