The Charlotte Hornets have had a bevy of injuries to start the 2024-25 season, but LaMelo Ball has largely been the picture of health. In years past, his health has been a struggle, specifically with his ankles.

Well, it’s not great news for the Charlotte Hornets and standout point guard LaMelo Ball. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, the right ankle injury that sidelined Ball over the weekend will cause him to miss “extended time.

The Charlotte Hornets have listed LaMelo Ball as probable for Wednesday evening's home game vs the Miami Heat.

In Charlotte's loss to the Orlando, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller combined for 64 of the Hornets 84 points and 64 of the 69 points from the starters. To put it bluntly, the formula of the Hornets getting little to no help from players outside of Ball and Miller is not going to win many games.
