The injury struggles for LaMelo Ball have continued in his third season, as the Hornets star suffered another ankle injury Monday night.
that made him unavailable for the opening 13 games of the regular season, when the Wizards’ Anthony Gill stepped on that area. But just three games after he returned, Ball tried to save a ball from going out of bounds andThe Hornets were seconds away from a 125-113 defeat that night, with Ball scoring 26 points in his first home game of the season, but that kept him out of the lineup for another month.
Similar to that second injury, Ball’s fractured ankle Monday night occurred during a productive game for the 21-year-old. He had connected on six 3-pointers and compiled 18 points on 6-for-9 shooting, adding five assists and another six rebounds. Hornets forward Gordon Hayward called the injury disappointing because “he’s a major part of our team and we felt like we were rounding the corner,” according to the Associated Press.

The Hornets still managed to defeat the Pistons, 117-106, but they’re 23 games under .500 and 14th place in the Eastern Conference — nowhere near the seeding required for a spot in the play-in tournament. Ball has averaged a career-high 23.4 points per game this year, one season after he made his first All-Star Game and started 75 games.
