The years follow one another and are the same for LaMelo Ballsince he joins the infirmary again. This time, no fracture or torn ligament, but an injury to the left calf. According to the press release from the medical staffthe Hornets leader will be absent for at least two weeks, and Charles Lee will have to adapt to this new situation.
Friday evening, against the Knicks, the new Charlotte coach chose to trust Vasilije Micic, little used since the start of the season, but who had a good end to last season after his arrival from the Thunder. The Serb will be able to regain confidence, and prove that Lee can count on him to lead his squad.
For Ball, this stoppage comes at the worst time since he was in the best form of his career with four games in a row at 30 points or more, including two performances at 50 and 44 points against the Bucks and the Magic. Unfortunately, no victory at the finish for his Hornets. Big cards which allow him to reach second place in the ranking of best scorers with 31.1 points on average.
