Baby steps: LaMelo Ball, Malik Monk both inching toward returning for Charlotte Hornets

Reinforcements are inching closer to returning to the mix for the Charlotte Hornets.

Although they haven’t ramped up the activity to contact levels just yet, LaMelo Ball and Malik Monk each did individual work at practice Monday. Both remain ruled out for Tuesday’s game against Milwaukee and it’s unlikely they will play in Boston on Wednesday. But it sounds like this weekend remains a possibility.

That’s when the Hornets will have a break in their schedule and coach James Borrego said getting a good look at them during then will go a long way in determining when they each can be back in the mix.
