The Charlotte Hornets have ruled out star point guard LaMelo Ball for the remainder of the season, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
Ball, who has been dealing with injuries to his ankle and wrist, will undergo two minor procedures to address each injury. Ball has been playing through pain for the Hornets in recent weeks, but with the Hornets sitting at 18-54 on the season and well out of playoff contention, the franchise has elected to sit Ball and get his injuries addressed.
In 47 games this season, Ball averaged 25.2 points, 7.4 assists and 4.9 rebounds on 40.5% shooting from the floor.
