LaMelo Ball Out Sunday with Left Ankle Bone Bruise, Misses Nuggets Game

LaMelo Ball will not play Sunday against the Nuggets, as he is dealing with a left ankle bone bruise. This injury follows the Hornets initially describing his condition as soreness after he exited Friday's game early. With Collin Sexton (thigh) and Tre Mann (knee) also sidelined, Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller are expected to see increased usage, while Sion James and KJ Simpson could also play more significant roles for Charlotte.
