Hornets feeling optimistic on LaMelo Ball return this season
Charlotte rookie will be re-evaluated in the second half of April.
The Charlotte Hornets have grown somewhat optimistic LaMelo Ball could return from his broken wrist before the end of the season. The prognosis post-surgery was that the rookie guard would be re-evaluated in four weeks, which is approximately April 20.
"We don’t know if LaMelo is out for the season or not," Mitch Kupchak said in a conference call with Charlotte media Friday morning. "There is a possibility, just based on other players who have had this injury, that maybe he does come back for some portion of the year. The one thing we know we’re not going to do in any event is put his health in jeopardy".
