LaMelo Ball Removed from Injury Report, Set for Hornets' Season Opener

LaMelo Ball, the star guard for the Charlotte Hornets, is no longer listed on the team's injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Brooklyn Nets. Ball had been managing a knee issue, but his removal from the report indicates he is cleared to play. His return is a significant boost for the Hornets as they commence their 2025-26 NBA season with their key player available.
