LaMelo Ball (ankle) out for Sunday

LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

Ball will miss his third straight game with this ruling. There's not been much news in terms of when he's expected to be back on the court, an unwelcome sign for fantasy managers and Hornets fans alike. With Ball out and his top backups also out, KJ Simpson and Sion James will all rotate in the lineup. Both are decent starts if needed.

LaMelo Ball (ankle) ruled out for Sunday

LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact

Ball was not able to finish Friday night's game after aggravating an ankle issue of some kind, and he will be sidelined on Sunday night because of it as well. Look for Sion James and KJ Simpson to see a lot more work for however long he misses because of this issue.

LaMelo Ball (wrist) expected to play Friday

LaMelo Ball (wrist) is expected to play in Friday night's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Fantasy Impact

Ball is currently listed on Charlotte's injury report due to a wrist injury, but it's not a serious issue and he is expected to play against the Raptors. Fantasy managers should continue to view him as a high-end fantasy option on Friday night and beyond, assuming he stays healthy and on the court for the Hornets.
