Giannis Antetokounmpo, LaMelo Ball’s injury statuses

According to the NBA injury report, Ball has been ruled out due to a right ankle impingement. Meanwhile, Giannis was initially listed on the injury report as questionable with left knee patellar tendinopathy. According to Chris Haynes, however, Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Wednesday’s matchup.

Upsetting the 7-4 Bucks would have already been challenging for a 3-7 Hornets squad even with Ball on the floor. Without LaMelo, though, Charlotte will need a complete team effort in order to earn the victory. Of course, Giannis’ final status will be of the utmost importance as the Bucks look to take care of business on the road.
