The Charlotte Hornets received a huge LaMelo Ball injury scare ahead of their high-octane regular-season game against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. LaMelo was listed as probable on the team's injury report, which was released after Tuesday's practice.
The Hornets point guard was listed with left wrist soreness. Earlier, the former Los Angeles Ballers standout had missed significant time due to a right wrist injury, for which he even underwent a surgical procedure. LaMelo Ball has played in the last four games, and Hornets fans are hoping their star guard can stay on the floor to keep driving the team forward.
Meanwhile, star forward Brandon Miller has trended in a bad direction in a span of just a couple of days. He was not on the team's initial injury report ahead of the previous game against the Brooklyn Nets, but was ruled out at the eleventh hour. Miller will remain sidelined as he is listed as out with a left shoulder subluxation.
Four more players will join Miller on the sidelines. Pat Connaughton (right calf strain), Josh Green (left shoulder surgery), Tre Mann (left ankle impingement), and Grant Williams (right knee surgery) are all ruled out of Wednesday's game.
