LaMelo Ball to Come Off Bench Saturday vs. Warriors

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball will not start Saturday's game against the Warriors, moving to the second unit. This decision is presumably to manage his playing time ahead of Sunday's back-to-back contest against Denver. Sion James will start in his place. Ball previously came off the bench on January 8, recording 33 points, eight assists, three rebounds, and three steals in 27 minutes.
