[Shams] Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball has suffered a serious sprain in his right ankle and is likely to miss extended time. Tests show Ball avoided a fracture in the ankle, which required surgery last season, and a cautious approach is expected.

1. I really don’t think new ownership will sit back and watch another 27 win season. It’s time to make moves and it’s time to make moves now.

2. This is worse than Curry’s ankle problems from earlier in his career

3. My life is over

4. He needs to strengthen his lower body big time. He needs to do everything possible to stay healthy, particularly in those ankles, moving forward.

   Its good that they are being cautious. No use in risking our franchise star.

5. Smh there goes the season again.

6. We are doomed

7. build around brandon miller… Lamelo has some serious injury concerns for him to be our main franchise player

8. I hate it hereeeeeeeeeee

9. Really don’t want to hear about how the ankle braces are uncomfortable.

10. I swear, the Hornets are cursed.

11. Man…

    

12. Soft tanking time whether we like it or not baby. We should make a move for Jordan Poole lol.

13. Another year. Another Charlotte sports teams’ season ending a month into the regular season. His All-Star bid was one of the last things I was looking forward to watching. Oh well B Milly time

14. Define “significant time.”

    That could be two weeks, it could be six months. I hate this non-answer language the NBA beat guys use.

15. 🤦🏽‍♂️ almost bought those tix to see them against the timberwolves Saturday.

16. Probably puts him out until February at the earliest

17. I bet these constant ankle injuries are almost as uncomfortable as the ankle braces he refuses to wear.

18. Shams used vague terminology that makes it sound worse and more clickbaity woj said multiple weeks which should be expected

19. Name a more iconic duo than Charlotte sports and never being able to catch a fucking break

20. Manifesting for rozier to be averaging 25

21. Ok draft nerds, who are we tanking for?

22. We need Tyus Jones, save him from Wizards hell

23. C’mon Mitch, can you please go get Bones Hyland or Reggie Jackson in here please!!

24. i just want to be happy and charlotte sports can never make that happen

25. Charlotte sports are fucking cursed

26. You know those metal braces Forest Gump wears when he’s a kid? Let’s try those.

27. Feel like Lamelo needs to get up with Steph and ask him how he managed his early career ankle issues. There’s gotta be something he can do. Can’t take this every season.
