More details this plot

The answer may come soon. Ball is questionable for the Hornets’ matchup with Philadelphia at Spectrum Center. This is an outing added to the schedule after both teams failed to advance from the knockout stages of the NBA Cup. Ball has been sidelined since Nov. 27 due to a left calf injury when he felt something in the final game of the Hornets’ loss to Miami. He has missed the last seven games and needs to check another box before he is officially considered ready to return. “are you okay.” Ball said. “We’ll probably have a shootout and see how the pregame warmup goes.” – through Charlotte Observer / December 16, 2024

LaMelo Ball dug through his memory banks and took a moment to ponder the question and think about something that fuels the Charlotte Hornets’ passion. It wasn’t often that we saw Ball on the floor with Miles Bridges, Brandon Miller, and Mark Williams forming a formidable quartet during game action. Certainly not as much as anyone associated with the Hornets would aspire to. “I’m not sure because it’s been a minute,” Ball said Monday. “We will see. We will see.” – through charlotte observer / December 16, 2024

Rod Boone: LaMelo Ball (left calf) is questionable for tomorrow’s game against Philadelphia. He has missed the last seven games due to injury and has not played since Nov. 27. Tre Mann (disc irritated) remains out. – through Twitter @rodboone / December 15, 2024
