Hornets guard LaMelo Ball is expected to miss “extended time” after spraining his right ankle, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported on Tuesday.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski added that Ball will likely be out for “multiple weeks” and will be further evaluated for the team to figure out a specific timeline of his return.
While missing the star guard will make the coming weeks tough for Charlotte, Ball did not suffer a fracture in his ankle like he did last season.
