Playing in his first home game this season, Hornets guard LaMelo Ball re-injured his left ankle on Wednesday when he landed on a fan's foot with 1 minute, 34 seconds left in the 125-113 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
X-rays postgame were negative, but Charlotte ruled Ball out for Friday's game at Cleveland. He is likely to miss multiple games.
Ball was hustling to save a ball near the sideline and stepped on the foot of a fan seated courtside in Charlotte, rolling the same ankle that forced him to miss the first 13 games of the season.
