LaMelo Ball out for the season with a broken ankle
March 1, 2023
According to nba.com on Tuesday, Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball of Anaheim, California is out for the remainder of the 2022-23 National Basketball Association regular season with a fractured ankle. Ball suffered the injury on Monday in a 117-106 Hornets win over the Detroit Pistons.
Ball averaged a career-high 23.3 points per game. He also had a career-high in assists with 8.4. Ball also averaged 6.4 rebounds per game, 1.3 steals per game, a field goal percentage of .411, a three-point percentage of .376, and a free throw percentage of .836.
Ball had a sensational first two seasons with the Hornets. He was the 2020-21 NBA rookie of the year, and then was an All-Star in 2021-22.
In an interesting twist, the Chicago Bulls just announced last week that LaMelo Ball’s brother Lonzo Ball would not play the entire 2022-23 NBA regular season with a knee injury. The Bulls guard initially injured his knee in a 138-96 Bulls loss to the Golden State Warriors on January 14, 2022, and has not played since.

Anyway you look at it, it has been a Disastrous season for the Hornets with a capital D. They are currently at 20 wins and 43 losses, and 9.5 games back of the Washington Wizards in the NBA play-in tournament. Don’t forget, I had the Hornets winning the Southeast Division, while our astute NBA writer Joel Beatton successfully predicted their struggles.
Despite the seasonal struggles for the Hornets, they have won five in a row. In addition to their win over Detroit, they have recently beaten the Atlanta Hawks 144-138 on February 13, the San Antonio Spurs 120-110 on February 15, the Minnesota Timberwolves 121-113 on February 24, and the Miami Heat 108-103 on February 25.
