Lee was told postgame of Ball’s latest status. MRI results on his left ankle confirmed that it is a left ankle sprain, and the Hornets said their guard will be re-evaluated in one week, news that the head coach welcomed but still leaves his team in a bit of limbo at present.

After suffering an alarming mid-game injury on Monday, All-Star Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball appears to have avoided a long-term issue. Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports that the 6’7″ pro is slated to be sidelined for at least a week before his status is reappraised.
