CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball won't play again this season and will have arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle as well as a minor procedure on his right wrist.
The team said Friday that Ball is expected to return to full basketball activity within four to six weeks and is expected to make a full recovery.
Ball was a third-round pick in 2020 and averaged a career-high 25.2 points, 7.4 assists and 4.9 rebounds in his fifth season.
He is the franchise’s all-time leader in triple-doubles (10) and ranks fifth in franchise history in both 3-pointers (705) and assists (1,710).
