Absent since the start of the season, due to an ankle injury contracted in pre-season, LaMelo Ball is getting closer every day to a return to competition. It could also be that he intervenes this evening, according to the last “injury report” of the Hornets.
Indeed, the All-Star (20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.6 assists average in 2021/22) has been listed “questionable” (uncertain) for the trip to Miami, after having always been listed “out” (package) since the resumption.
Therefore, it is assumed that LaMelo Ball will test himself before the meeting and that his franchise will then determine, in consultation with him, if he is indeed suitable to face the Heat. Which would obviously not fail to boost the Hornets, currently last in the Eastern Conference, with only three wins after thirteen games…
Hornets who have already had to deal for several days with the absence of Gordon Hayward (shoulder) and, since yesterday, with that of Cody Martin (knee).
