LaMelo Ball “Likely” To Re-Up With Hornets After Draft
10 months agoCharlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball is "likely" to sign a contract extension with the team following the NBA Draft, per Bobby Marks. The 21-year-old Ball is coming off an injury-riddled campaign, limited to just 36 games by lingering ankle injuries. He remains the obvious franchise cornerstone player, however, after putting up 23.3 points, 8.4 assists, and 6.4 rebounds per game for the Hornets during the 2022-2023 season. The former Rookie of the Year has just one year remaining on his team-friendly rookie deal, so Charlotte might want to get a move on in locking up the star playmaker before long.
