LaMelo Ball
Hornets
Injury
LaMelo Ball’s status remains uncertain for Tuesday’s matchup against the Pelicans due to an ankle issue. His absence in Sunday’s victory over the Jazz saw rookie Sion James step into the starting lineup, with Collin Sexton taking over point guard duties. Both performed well and are viable options if Ball remains out, while Kon Knueppel also holds fantasy value. If Ball returns, Sexton and Knueppel maintain some value, but James would likely see reduced opportunities.
