The Charlotte Hornets updated Team Outlook after star PG LaMelo Ball suffered a broken right ankle, ending his injury-plagued season. Ball, 21, missed the opening 13 games of the regular season with a sprained left ankle and then rolled that same ankle in just his third game back, which forced him to miss an additional 11 games. An All-Star last season, Ball has shown a vast improvement to his game, when he’s been available to play. Before Monday’s injury, the 2021 Rookie of the Year appeared in 35 games, averaging a career-high 23.4 points and 8.5 assists alongside 6.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals.
