That unmistakable, boisterous laugh was audible in Spectrum Center’s underbelly hallways again Friday morning, and it can only mean one thing.

LaMelo Ball is on the mend and feeling much, much better.

The Charlotte Hornets star point guard received good news during his re-evaluation on Thursday, signaling steady improvement with his sprained right ankle. Ball, who shed his walking boot and crutches earlier this week, has started individual activities and will be re-evaluated once more next week as he advances further in his rehab, the team announced.
