The chances of the Charlotte Hornets advancing to the playoffs suffered another blow after a tight loss against the Los Angeles Lakers. To add to their woes, LaMelo Ball, one of the team’s key players, was injured during the game. Let’s explore what transpired with the 23-year-old cornerstone of the Charlotte Hornets.
Here’s everything you need to know regarding Ball’s latest ailment.
How did LaMello Ball get injured?
LaMello Ball sustained an ankle injury in the Lakers’ 107-112 victory vs the Hornets.
During the second quarter of the game, an unexpected accident took place. While showcasing remarkable skill by making a 3-pointer on one foot, Ball started to retreat down the court, not fully aware of his surroundings. Unfortunately, he stepped on Jarred Vanderbilt’s foot and lost balance, landing backward with an awkward impact that caused his head to strike the ground.
It became apparent that LaMello Ball had hurt his left ankle during play. In an attempt to disrupt the game, he intentionally committed a foul and then left the court for his locker room after only nine minutes of play. His limp as he walked suggested he was in pain. Later, through social media, the Hornets confirmed that their rising star point guard would not be returning to the game.
Before my unexpected exit due to injury, I was giving it my all, aiming to put my team on top. I managed to score seven points for us. This season, I’ve been the beacon of hope for the Hornets amidst a tough run, with our record standing at 12-31. Despite the challenges we’re facing, I’ve been averaging an impressive 28.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game. In fact, I’m leading my team in almost every significant statistical category.
Significantly, LaMello Ball has faced numerous ankle issues since joining the Hornets, which has led him to wear braces this season to provide support. Unfortunately, his recent injury is predicted to keep the talented player out of action for several forthcoming matches.
Without Ball, the Charlotte Hornets are scheduled to play against the Brooklyn Nets in their upcoming NBA game.
