Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball is having an MRI on his injured ankle Tuesday and will not make the trip to Philadelphia for the team's final preseason game Wednesday.
Ball suffered a left ankle sprain during the third quarter of Monday night's preseason loss to the visiting Washington Wizards.
Ball was driving into the paint and stepped on the foot of Washington's Anthony Gill. He went to the floor in pain and stayed down for several minutes, but he managed to stay in the game to take two free throws before walking off the court under his own power.
