LaMelo Ball will sit out the remainder of the season to have two minor procedures on his ankle and wrist. With 10 games left in the season and the Charlotte Hornets not playing for a postseason berth, it’s likely the safest decision that the organization could have made. Ball has been labeled as an “injury-prone” player in his young career, so saving his body for the next season. That could also be with or without Ball on the roster.
A possible trade could still be in the cards depending on how the offseason goes.
