LaMelo Ball will be sidelined for at least a week after an MRI revealed that he has an ankle sprain.

Ball suffered the injury in the Charlotte Hornets’ loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. 

The 23-year-old Ball has a history of ankle injuries since he was drafted in 2020 and has missed 158 games due to injuries.

Ball, who has been averaging a career-best 28.9 points per game, has been wearing braces this season to protect his ankles.
