Scary moment for the Charlotte Hornets today as LaMelo Ball screamed out in pain driving to the lane. It looked like a bad ankle injury, which it was, but doctors just confirmed it’s a sprain so he’ll be back before too long. He is expected to miss the first few games of the year but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s ready to go for the start of the season.
I think the injury will just last after the preseason so we will see this talented young gun in the season and hope the rest that missed this preseason debut. I wouldn't be surprised as well, there are lot of players right now that is going to be exciting to watch if they're healthy and LaMelo is one of that, Zion, Kawhi to name a few.
The good news is he walked back to locker room, which means that he must be doing something right, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am not saying that he is fine or anything, but even if he is injured for a period of time, it would probably not be anytime that would be long enough to bother anyone.
Hornets are not that great anyway, so they could take the time to let him heal as good as he would, because that means we are talking about them losing games but with him on the floor they still lose anyway. MJ was one of the greatest, probably the greatest ever basketball player ever lived, but he is definitely not a good owner at all by the looks of how the team has done since he took over.
