The report points to Kendrick Perkins describing growing tension between LaMelo Ball and Hornets coach Charles Lee.
Perkins argues the disconnect is real, saying the energy between the two simply isn’t there.
In his framing, Ball’s reduced role and minutes are not accidental, but a deliberate move tied to bigger-picture considerations.
Perkins presents a stark choice: either explore a Ball trade or move on from the coach.
Ball, the No. 3 pick in the 2020 draft, is in his sixth season with the franchise and is averaging a career low in minutes per game.
The piece notes that if a coach decides the star “is not his guy,” the situation typically reaches a crossroads quickly.
