Absent for more than two months, LaMelo Ball will not leave the Hornets infirmary this season. Charlotte has just announced that the leader will continue to treat his ankle for the next few weeks.
Already eliminated from the race for the playoffs and the “play-in”, the North Carolina club has nothing more to play for at the end of the campaign, and the club is undoubtedly thinking first of its future Draft choice. Currently, the team has the 4th worst record (18 wins – 54 losses) but could be “doubled” by the Spurs (17-56).
His season ended, LaMelo Ball will therefore have played only 22 games, averaging 26.6 points, 8.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds, with 43% shooting success, including 36% behind the 3-point line, this year.
Nevertheless, his physical fragility must logically begin to worry in Charlotte, even though he has only played 58 games over the last two seasons, and he has signed a contract extension worth $204 million over five years. 'last summer. A contract that can even go up to 260 million dollars.
