A lost season took another brutal turn with LaMelo fracturing his ankle in the #Hornets win over Detroit.
“Injuries are the worst part about the game,” Gordon Hayward said. “I know that all too well. … It sucks and I feel for him.”

Tough, tough news for LaMelo Ball. Right ankle fracture. That will end his season. He and Nikola Jokic were the only two players averaging at least 23.4 ppg, 8.5 apg and 6.4 rpg. Will come back stronger next year. – 9:53 PM

Re: LaMelo Ball: Given the video and the fact that it was a non-contact injury, I’m curious if this is an avulsion fracture where a ligament or tendon pulls away a piece of the bone. – 9:33 PM

I’m no expert on injuries but the first thing I thought of when I saw the LaMelo injury was his plantar fascia. His description of a “Pop”reminds me of Al Jefferson’s injury in the 2014 playoffs which he described in the same way. more details

All of a sudden all that seemingly matters is the growth of Charlotte’s star LaMelo Ball. The fanbase is holding its breath, let’s hope he’s avoided a major injury – 8:30 PM

LaMelo Ball leaves the game with a right foot issue, he seemingly didn’t twist his ankle.
