With Ball sidelined for the third straight game due to a combination of left ankle and right wrist soreness, joining Brandon Miller on the bench in street clothes, he was powerless during the Hornets’ 111-108 overtime loss at Spectrum Center.

But nah, you want to see them play against each other. They are both very talented and they grew up together. So, you would love those types of matchups. “Hopefully the next time we play against the Bulls, they’ll be able to play against each other.”
