On Saturday March 20th, LaMelo Ball fractured his right wrist and was expected to miss the entire season as everyone was reporting the news, not exactly what I reported as I did not expect him to be out for the season. A source mentioned to me that he will heal quickly and be back sooner than later and he was right because his comeback tour began Saturday in Charlotte as they hosted the Detroit Pistons.
Charlotte guard LaMelo Ball — rookie of the year frontrunner — is expected to miss the rest of the season with a fracture to his right wrist, source tells ESPN. He's seeking a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis.

In the fourth quarter, the Hornets allowed the Pistons to get back in the game they got the lead down to single digits but not until the Hornets punched back and pushed the lead to 14. No need for LaMelo to come back into the game as the Hornets maintained the Pistons throughout the fourth quarter. The Hornets have another game tomorrow night against the Miami Heat as they are battling for positioning in the playoffs.
LaMelo Ball came into the game with two minutes remaining in the fourth and finished the game with 11 points 8 assists 7 rebounds 2 blocks and a steal in 28 minutes.
