The Charlotte Hornets will be without star guard LaMelo Ball for the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury, according to the latest injury report ahead of Friday’s game against the Boston Celtics. Ball, a key playmaker for the struggling Hornets (19-61), joins six other teammates sidelined, including Grant Williams (ACL), Brandon Miller (wrist), and Tre Mann (back).
The Hornets’ injury woes come at a tough time as they prepare to face the league-leading Celtics (59-21) at TD Garden. Boston, coming off a 96-76 loss to the Orlando Magic, will also be missing Jaylen Brown, who is out with a knee injury.
LaMelo Ball’s absence has been a major setback for Charlotte this season. The dynamic point guard was averaging 23.4 points, 8.5 assists, and 6.2 rebounds before his injury. Without him, the Charlotte Hornets have struggled to find consistency, losing their last game to the Toronto Raptors 126-96. Rookie Nick Smith stepped up with 28 points, but the team’s depleted roster has made wins hard to come by.
The Celtics, despite Brown’s absence, remain heavy favorites with a 19.5-point spread. Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard, who led Boston with 15 points in their last outing, are expected to carry the offensive load.
