According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, LaMelo Ball will miss the remainder of the season due to his aggravated ankle injury.

Ball picked up the injury in late January after coming back to the court for just 7 games following an ankle injury. The star guard has been out since January 27th.

In his fourth season in the NBA, Ball averaged 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 8 assists per game. Overall, Ball played in just 22 NBA games this season.

With 18 wins and 54 losses, the Hornets currently hold the 4th-worst record in the NBA and are out of playoff contention.

With Ball out of the rotation, former EuroLeague MVP Vasilije Micic has seen an increased role, which he's managed to use effectively. Micic should remain the starting point guard.
