A week ago, LaMelo Ball made his debut for the regular season against the Miami Heat. The Charlotte Hornets’ rising star had missed games prior to his debut because of a left ankle sprain. The team was happy to have their star back on the court. Ball did score 26 points and 6 assists as well. But something else overwhelmed the player.

With his comeback, Ball told ESPN that he was in a “good spot”. But the return of LaMelo Ball may be short-lived.

During the game against the Indiana Pacers recently, LaMelo Ball suffered another sprain on the same leg. He stepped on a fan’s foot on the courtside and his grimaced face visibly displayed pain. Reports claimed that he had to be helped off the court.

Fans expressed their anguish over the incident as Charlotte Hornets fans hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. One user tweeted, “This video makes me sad and angry man”. Others couldn’t believe what they saw.

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

Will his injury set back the team? Head coach Steve Clifford said after the game, “hopefully it’s not bad”.

LaMelo Ball has to stick around

The Charlotte Hornets have seen several of their players succumbing to injuries. Caleb Martin is out for at least four weeks because of an arthroscopic knee injury. Gordon Hayward is dealing with a shoulder injury and is not on the active list. Dennis Smith Jr suffered a left ankle sprain. The Hornets had been waiting for Ball’s return for some time to give the team and the fans a much-needed boost.

Notably, Michael Jordan has come under the fire before for poor management of the Hornets. He has been the majority owner of the team since 2010 and many people believe that he has not made wise decisions. The drafting of certain players and their contracts have been questioned.
