LaMelo Ball, the only bright spark in a rather gloomy Charlotte Hornets franchise is out with injury. They face off against the Washington Wizards and fans are expecting the flashy point guard to feature.

However, given the latest report, it doesn’t look like that will happen. The Hornets have made a rather poor start to the season and are 3-7 this season.
They are on a four-game losing streak and are in desperate need of their star players to return. The absence of Terry Rozier (for the first few games), Gordon Hayward, and LaMelo Ball has been hurtful for the Hornets.
But will any of them feature? And more importantly, is LaMelo back?

As per the latest update from the Charlotte Hornets, LaMelo Ball’s sprained ankle is still keeping him out. Apart from LaMelo, Gordan Hayward is still out. Dennis Smith Jr and Cody Martin are listed as questionable and doubtful, respectively.

Dennis Smith Jr (L Ankle sprain) is questionable
Cody Martin (L Quad Soreness) is doubtful
LaMelo Ball (L Ankle Sprain) is out
Gordon Hayward (L Shoulder contusion) is out— Charlotte Hornets PR (@HornetsPR) November 6, 2022
The good news is Terry Rozier looked healthy and his addition will bring the Hornets’ offense back to good shape. But LaMelo might be out at least till the 9th of November.
