The Charlotte Hornets have been eliminated from the playoffs and the Hornets have also mentioned, “INJURY UPDATE: @hornets guard LaMelo Ball will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 NBA season as he continues to rehab from his right ankle injury.”
Two straight most lost seasons for LaMelo Ball. Next year starts a five-year, 25% of the cap max deal for Ball.
Hornets have to hope they can get this figured out and get him on the court regularly. He's the most important player the franchise has and these injuries are scary.
