LaMelo Ball Exits Game Against Nets Due to Recurring Ankle Injury

The Charlotte Hornets guard, who has struggled with ankle issues throughout the season, left Monday's game after just 10 minutes of play.

LaMelo Ball left the Hornets' game against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday due to right ankle soreness, playing only 10 minutes before exiting.
This marks another setback for Ball, who has faced multiple ankle injuries this season, including a sprained left ankle that caused him to miss five games recently.
Ball has appeared in just 33 of Charlotte's 51 games this season, with the team struggling significantly in his absence, holding a 1-17 record without him.
Despite his injuries, Ball has maintained strong individual stats this season, averaging 27.3 points, 7.2 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game in his 33 appearances.
The Hornets' next game is scheduled for Wednesday against the Orlando Magic, but Ball's availability remains uncertain as the team approaches the All-Star break.
