LaMelo Ball, the Charlotte Hornets’ star point guard, had to leave Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to an ankle injury. At 23, he has struggled with recurring ankle problems for his five-year professional career, and the latest blow could affect his future.
Ball was spotted limping off the court after trying to make a quick move in the game. The Hornets’ medical staff immediately attended to him, and he was ruled out for the rest of the match. Early reports indicate that the injury could be related to previous ankle problems that have troubled Ball in past seasons.
This injury comes at a very critical moment for the Hornets, who are trying to overcome their tough season. LaMelo leads the team, and the fans wish that this injury won’t halt him for a much longer period.
Ball has had recurring ankle issues, and it is now raising questions about his durability. The young star has bounced back stronger each time, though, and the Hornets will likely monitor the situation closely to determine when he can return to the court.
