Charlotte is monitoring multiple injuries ahead of the contest, however. LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller are among the Hornets dealing with injury concerns.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/charlotte-hornets/hornets-news-brandon-miller-miss-multiple-weeks-shoulder-injury">Miller is expected to miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury</a>, so he is out on Tuesday night. He is officially dealing with left shoulder subluxation. Charlotte was hoping to have the star players stay healthy throughout the 2025-26 campaign, but Miller’s absence is far from ideal. He features an extremely high ceiling, but Miller also dealt with injury concerns last year.</p><p>With Miller out, Ball’s presence becomes even more important. So, is LaMelo Ball playing tonight vs. the Pelicans? Here’s everything we know about the Hornets star’s injury.</p><h2><b>LaMelo Ball’s injury status vs. Pelicans</b></h2><p>Ball is <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-11-04_09AM.pdf" rel="noopener">currently listed as questionable</a> on the NBA injury report due to a right ankle impingement. Miller and Ball are two of seven Hornets on Tuesday’s injury report. Josh Green (left shoulder surgery), Grant Williams (right knee surgery), Drew Peterson (G League two-way), Antonio Reeves (G League two-way) and Tidjane Salaun (G League on assignment) are all listed as out for the matchup.</p><p>LaMelo has played well while on the floor this season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/charlotte-hornets/hornets-news-is-lamelo-ball-playing-vs-timberwolves-latest-injury-update">He’s battled injury trouble at times</a>, but the Hornets guard is making a significant impact regardless. Ball is averaging 23.3 points, 9.8 assists, 7.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals per outing across six games played. He is also shooting 43 percent on his field goal attempts.</p><p>Overall, the Hornets will enter Tuesday’s affair with a 3-4 record. It’s been an inconsistent start to the new campaign, but they will enter the game with confidence against an 0-6 Pelicans squad.</p><p>As for the question of if LaMelo Ball is playing tonight vs. the Hornets, the answer is maybe.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

What is good news for the Hornets and their fanbase is that there was no additional structural damage to his shoulder. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/charlotte-hornets/hornets-news-brandon-miller-seeking-second-opinion-amid-concerning-injury">Miller recently went to get a second opinion</a> regarding a potential course of action.</p><p>Miller initially suffered the injury back on Oct. 25 against the Philadelphia 76ers. He exited the game early and did not return. He has missed the last five games for the Hornets.</p><p>In the two games that Miller has played in this season, he was averaging 14.5 points and 4.0 assists in around 20 minutes per game. He was shooting 40 percent from the field, 18.2 percent from the three-point line and 70 percent from the free-throw line.</p><p>The No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Miller had a strong rookie season, establishing himself as a future building block for the Hornets. He finished third in the Rookie of the Year voting. But his second year in the NBA was cut short due to a season-ending wrist injury. He was limited to only 27 games, but was showing continued signs of improvement, upping his scoring from 17.3 points to 21.0</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
