The Charlotte Hornets have had a rough season. Injuries have played a big part in the team’s 8-27 record. However, some good news has come on that front.
LaMelo Ball could return Friday from what has been a 20-game absence due to a severely sprained ankle. Ball was injured on November 26 and has missed a month-and-a-half of action.
Ball has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game at the San Antonio Spurs. The Hornets also upgraded Frank Ntilikina to questionable as well. Ntilikina has missed the entire season to date, after suffering a fractured leg in the preseason.
