In his first game of the season, Ball reinjured his left ankle after stepping on a fan's foot with 1:34 remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Hornets lost against the Indiana Pacers 113-125.

Ball was trying to save a ball from going out of bounds when he stepped on a seated fan's foot near the Hornets bench as he tried to brace himself from going into the crowd.

It's the same ankle that caused Ball to miss a portion of the preseason and the first 13 games of the regular season.

Hornets coach Steve Clifford had no immediate update on Ball's status, and Ball was not made available to talk to reporters after the game.

Throughout 3 games he played, Ball averages 19.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 7.0 assists.
