LaMelo Ball To Return On Wednesday Evening
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will return on Wednesday versus Detroit. The 21-year-old has appeared in only three games this season. However, he played well in those contests, averaging 19.3 points, 7.0 assists, and 1.0 steals. It's unknown if Ball will see a full workload. But even if he doesn't, he has a fantastic chance to produce against arguably the worst team in the NBA.
Dec 14, 2022 • 11:40 PM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Won't Suit Up Versus Detroit
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out on Wednesday against Detroit. No surprise here, as the 21-year-old has played three games this season because of a sprained ankle. With Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) out as well, Terry Rozier should continue to run the point and receive a usage bump while remaining a primary scoring option.
Dec 14, 2022 • 4:10 AM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Sitting Again Versus Philly
New Orleans Pelicans guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus Philadelphia. Ball has played in only three games this season. However, he continues to be bothered by a sprained left ankle. With Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) out as well, Terry Rozier will probably continue to run things at the point, giving him a bump in usage. Kelly Oubre Jr., who had 22 points and two steals in Friday's loss to New York, should also continue to benefit as well.
Dec 11, 2022 • 5:04 AM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Won't Be Back Versus Brooklyn
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out again for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. Ball has only played three games this season, as he continues to battle a sprained left ankle. With Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) sitting as well, Terry Rozier should continue to run the point, with Theo Maledon getting some extra minutes from the bench. However, unless Maledon is in the starting lineup, he won't offer much to fantasy managers.
Dec 7, 2022 • 3:51 AM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Out Again On Friday Night
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains out ahead of Friday's meeting with Washington. Ball has played only three games this season because of a sprained left ankle, opening the door for Terry Rozier and Kelly Oubre Jr. to lead the team in scoring. With Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, Theo Maledon is expected to get another spot-start. Maledon had 11 points, eight assists, and three steals on Monday against Boston. However, he shot a rough 4-for-13 from the field and had five turnovers.
Dec 2, 2022 • 4:31 AM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Out Against Washington
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out for Sunday's game versus Washington. Ball missed his first 13 contests with a sprained left ankle. However, after returning and appearing in three games, he re-injured it on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) would likely replace Ball in the lineup. Yet, Smith is questionable, so if he doesn't suit up either, Kelly Oubre Jr., P.J. Washington, Gordon Hayward, and Terry Rozier should continue to see plenty of work.
Nov 20, 2022 • 4:18 AM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Re-Injures Ankle On Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) finished with 26 points during Wednesday's loss to the Pacers. Ball had a fantastic night, going 5-for-8 from deep while adding six assists and two steals. Unfortunately, he re-injured the same ankle that cost him the first 13 games of the 2022-23 campaign. The Hornets don't play again until Friday in Cleveland. However, fantasy managers should consider Ball questionable heading into that one. If he can't suit up, Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is the favorite to take his place in the starting lineup, assuming he's healthy. But if Smith can't go either, Theo Maledon and James Bouknight could see an increased workload.
Nov 17, 2022 • 3:56 AM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball To Play On Saturday
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will make his regular-season debut against the Miami Heat on Saturday. The 21-year-old has been sidelined until now due to a left ankle sprain. The expectation is that Ball will start, but his workload could be limited during his first game back. Theo Maledon should be the primary backup with Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) ruled out for this contest. The return of Ball likely means that Maledon and Smith won't have much streaming value going forward. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Ball back in their lineups on Saturday.
Nov 13, 2022 • 12:08 AM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Upgraded To Questionable Versus Miami
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of the rematch with the Heat. The 21-year-old hasn't played all year due to a left ankle sprain and was listed as out in Friday's edition of the injury report, so it appears he's moving in the right direction. However, even if he doesn't suit up for this one, there's a good chance he'll make his debut versus Orlando on Monday. While his minutes would likely be strictly limited for a few games, he's still a must-start for fantasy managers in all formats. Yet, Ball won't be an attractive DFS option until he's 100%.
Nov 12, 2022 • 9:14 PM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Won't Make Season Debut On Saturday
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't suit up against the Heat. Ball hasn't played yet this year after spraining his left ankle in the preseason. Fortunately, he's expected to make his 2022-23 debut sooner rather than later. The Hornets will also continue operating without Cody Martin (knee) and Gordon Hayward (shoulder), opening the door for Terry Rozier, P.J. Washington, and Kelly Oubre Jr. to see an uptick in production. Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) would also be a favorite to benefit. However, considering he's carrying a questionable tag heading into this one, James Bouknight may see some additional minutes.
Nov 12, 2022 • 3:41 AM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Still Missing Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will be sitting for another game Wednesday against Portland. He's yet to play this season after spraining his left ankle during preseason. Dennis Smith Jr. has enjoyed a nice run in the team and looks set to maintain his role for a couple of more games, with a road game against Miami coming up already on Thursday. Wednesday's matchup is a meeting with a former team for Smith Jr., who appeared in 37 games for Portland last season. Will we see a classic revenge game from him?
Nov 9, 2022 • 8:19 PM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Won't Play On Saturday

Oct 29, 2022 • 10:59 PM | RotoBallerLaMelo Ball Won't Play Against Atlanta
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Hawks, as expected. The 21-year-old is working his way back from a sprained left ankle suffered in the preseason, so he may need a few more games off before he's ready to return. With Terry Rozier (ankle) doubtful, Dennis Smith Jr. may enter the start lineup. Smith has averaged 11.0 points, 4.0 assists, and 2.5 steals while shooting 80% from deep this season. Although he's not a consistent scoring threat, his defensive prowess could make a difference for category managers looking for swipes.
