LaMelo Ball Fully Healed From Ankle Surgery
1 year agoCharlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball is fully healed from offseason ankle surgery, according to the team's president of basketball operations and general manager Mitch Kupchak. "To have a player of LaMelo's caliber with his game, with his youth, we know he is going to get better as a player," Kupchak said in an interview with Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer. "He's here every day. He certainly had a setback last year, but in terms of healing, he's been 100% healed and he's been on the court working out every single day trying to get better." Ball made only 36 appearances due to ankle troubles last season. He's gotten better with each season in the league, and we can expect Charlotte's rising star to take another step forward in 2023-24 after averaging 23.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 8.4 assists last term.
