Following a rough 104-83 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the Charlotte Hornets announced LaMelo Ball will be re-evaluated in a week after spraining his ankle in Monday’s defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers. The star guard had an MRI that confirmed the severity and original diagnosis.

The Charlotte Hornets (12-30) will host the Los Angeles Lakers (25-18) in their first matchup of the season. The second game, originally scheduled for January 9, has been postponed to February 19 due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball left the game against the Los Angeles Lakers in the second quarter with a left ankle injury. He will not return.
