Charlotte Hornets fans will have to wait a little longer to see star guard LaMelo Ball back in action on the court. The team has announced that Ball, who has been sidelined for the past 29 consecutive games due to an ankle injury, will not be making a return for the final two-plus weeks of the season.
Ball's absence has been felt deeply by the Hornets, with his dynamic style of play and remarkable talent sorely missed on the court. Since his injury, the team has been working hard to maintain their momentum, but there's no denying the impact of Ball's absence on their performance.
Despite hopes for a late-season comeback, the decision to keep Ball out for the remainder of the season underscores the team's commitment to his long-term health and recovery. With the playoffs looming and the Hornets aiming for a strong finish to the season, ensuring Ball's full recovery remains the top priority.
