Hornets’ LaMelo Ball will again consider wearing ankle braces
April 15, 2024
LaMelo needs to just 100% commit to it. Find what's most comfortable and wear them until he fully adjusts and grows to be comfortable playing in them.

>But teammate Miles Bridges said Ball is highly competitive and told him he plans to play at least 75 games next season.
lol i can’t take miles seriously if he said that with a straight face
He needs to wear literally whatever is necessary lol I’m tired of waiting on bro to actually play
He needs to call up Steph Curry. Curry had similar ankle issues his first few years in the league. Go ahead and get lil bro Seth to give him a call.
I’m hoping that the extended time off to end the season plus this off season is enough to re-strengthen and re-condition his injured ankles. By the start of the preseason next year, he should have healed/strengthened enough to allow the braces to fit and not be disruptive to his playstyle.
I think we rushed him back too soon last year to start the season and you could tell that he needed some more time and reps to be fully comfortable playing
“*Here’s $250,000,000 dollars to do a job… Can you please wear something that allows you to do that job?”*
“**I’ll consider it…”**.
(wild applause)
I’ve heard that he has a screw in his ankle and that was causing discomfort with the braces. If true, will the screw come out and when? That could make all the difference.
