LaMelo Ball Latest News
Goes for 35 points in win
Ball contributed 35 points (12-27 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 33 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 123-121 overtime win over the Pistons. Ball could've won it in regulation for the Hornets with a floater that bounced off the rim, but the star floor general was nonetheless very impactful. Ball has been playing at a high level of late, and he seems to be taking his scoring prowess to a whole new level. He's scored at least 30 points in five of his last seven appearances.
Officially available
Ball (finger) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. Ball was listed as questionable but didn't appear in any danger of missing the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set. The All-Star point guard played 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-114 win over the Bucks, posting 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists.
Warming up Sunday
Coach Charles Lee said Ball (finger), who's listed as questionable, will warm up with the intention of playing in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. Ball and Miles Bridges (knee) going through their normal pregame routines is a positive sign for their availability, but they likely won't be officially cleared until right before tipoff at 6:00 p.m. ET. Ball played 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-114 win over the Bucks, posting 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists.
Iffy for Sunday
Ball is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left finger sprain. Ball is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season, and he presumably picked up the finger injury during the first leg of the back-to-back set in the win over Milwaukee on Saturday. If Ball is unable to play, Tre Mann (back), Cody Martin and Vasilije Micic are candidates to receive an uptick in playing time.
Clutch free throws vs. Milwaukee
Ball registered 26 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 11-11 FT), nine rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes in Saturday's 115-114 win over the Bucks. Ball struggled with his efficiency from the floor Saturday, but he came up clutch in the fourth quarter when he scored 15 of his 26 points, including the game-winning free throws with just seconds remaining. Since Nov. 1, Ball has averaged 30.1 points, 5.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 33.8 minutes per game.
Excellent effort not enough
Ball posted 35 points (13-27 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 114-89 loss to the Magic. Ball was a one-man wrecking crew for the Hornets in this game, but his efforts were not enough, and the Hornets still lost by 25 points. Ball is enjoying an outstanding start to the campaign and has been one of the top guards in fantasy, regardless of the format. Aside from scoring at least 30 points in his last three games, he's putting up averages of 29.9 points, 6.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest in 11 appearances and 33.6 minutes per tilt.
Explodes offensively in OT loss
Ball racked up 38 points (13-30 FG, 6-18 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 41 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 overtime loss to the 76ers. Ball did it all for Charlotte in Sunday's overtime battle, leading all players in the contest in scoring and threes made while pacing the Hornets with a team-best assist total and a team-high-tying pair of steals in a well-rounded performance. Ball set a new season high in scoring and posted his sixth game with at least 30 points, including his second straight. Ball has now connected on at least five threes in six outings, including in three consecutive appearances.
Goes for 31 points Friday
Ball provided 31 points (10-29 FG, 5-18 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 103-83 victory over the Pacers. Ball and Brandon Miller combined for a staggering 60 points in this win -- that's 28 fewer points than the entire output from the Pacers offense. Even though Miller has been grabbing headlines regularly, Ball has been nothing short of spectacular this season. The star playmaker has surpassed the 30-point mark in five of his nine contests to date while also averaging 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest.
Will play Wednesday
Ball (ankle) has been upgraded to available and will play Wednesday against the Pistons. Ball was initially deemed a game-time call for this contest, but the upgrade to available suggests the star floor general shouldn't have any limitations or restrictions Wednesday. Ball is averaging 28.6 points, 5.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game this season, and his presence will give the Hornets a huge boost on both ends of the court.
