Is LaMelo Ball playing tonight vs Sacramento Kings? Charlotte Hornets release hip injury update about ROTY ahead of faceoff vs De’Aaron Fox and co
Injury reports reveal the availability of Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball ahead of the team’s game against the Kings
Despite a somewhat poor showing against the Golden State Warriors, LaMelo Ball has largely been very, very impressive for the Charlotte Hornets this season.
The Ball brother has been averaging 19.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 6.3 assists, on an efficient 42% from the field, and 40% from three. We don’t know about you, but for us, those are at least near-All-Star level numbers, right there. Simply put, he has easily been one of Charlotte’s best players this year.
Getting back to the game against the Warriors now, let’s just say Melo’s performance wasn’t the only cause for concern there.
During the game, LaMelo Ball went up for a finish at the rim and was bumped mid-air by Stephen Curry. Due to this contact, the player landed horribly awkwardly following which he was gripping onto his hip in pain. You can see it all happen in the YouTube video below.
At the time, the player continued to stay on court and play. However, will he be available in the Hornets’ next game?
Let’s find out.

Charlotte Hornets reveal LaMelo Ball’s injury status ahead of their game against the Kings
Ever since the game against the Warriors ended, Charlotte fans have been on edge, wondering if their franchise player is alright. Hell, we’re sure some of them even had flashes of the player going down with his wrist injury last season.
Well, we’re happy to say that we have terrific news for those concerned. Take a look at the tweet below.
INJURY REPORT: @hornets at SAC 11/5
LaMelo Ball (R hip contusion) is probable
PJ Washington (L elbow hyperextension) is doubtful#AllFly— Charlotte Hornets PR (@HornetsPR) November 4, 2021
So, while it isn’t guaranteed that he will take the floor, LaMelo Ball has been declared as probable against the Kings. So, the injury likely isn’t a serious one.
Now, we just hope we can see the boy wonder take the court in the Hornets’ upcoming game.

![Savannah James recently announced her new initiative Let It Break which will soon be launched for public. In the last few months, the entrepreneur and philanthropist have started several new ventures to add to her already impressive portfolio as a businesswoman. In this moment of celebration, her superstar husband, LeBron James is first in line, as always, to congratulate her for taking on another challenge. LeBron shared the big news on his X profile with a heartfelt caption for Savannah and her friends and business partners. He wrote, "The growth and journey is ALL TO REAL! So PROUD of you Queen !! CONGRATULATIONS to you, April, Porsha and you guys whole powerful community within “LET IT BREAK." King James also shared the article from Harpers Bazaar that features his queen and her friends talking about their new venture. The idea behind Savannah stepping out to start new businesses stems from a conversation that she had with her daughter Zhuri. Three years ago, Zhuri told her mother that she wants to be just like her when she grows up and that made Savannah think about taking on different ventures. Let It Break is an initiative that she is starting with April McDaniel, the founder of creative agency Crown + Conquer and Porsha Ellis. The core mission of Let It Break is to provide overall mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. It will be a membership-based community that will focus on “personal growth and self-discovery.” With the agenda to make women the stronger version of themselves by catering to their well-being, Let It Break will also provide necessary tools for relationship building. Savannah said during the conversation, "I’ve done different modalities of therapy and different things for mental health, but this is a space that is—not new to me, but I’m ready now to put two feet or 10 toes into [launching Let It Break] in this way." She said that she is really looking forward to making the resources available for the members of the community as she understands the value of meaningful relationships. An added element of benefit through this initiative will also be to help find new friendships to the members of the club. It all might sound like its networking, but the three women who are spearheading this program are adamant to not call it that.](https://thesportsrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/8bd1fe86-untitled-design-2024-06-21t221327.353-300x300.jpg)
