Less than a week after All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball made his season debut, the injury bug has struck again.
Late in the Hornets’ 125-113 home loss to the Pacers Wednesday, Ball was running toward the sideline when he stepped awkwardly on a fan sitting courtside and rolled his left ankle. The incident occurred in the final minutes of the game, and Ball was subbed out and diagnosed with a sprain. He did not return.
