LaMelo Ball dazzles in return to court as Charlotte Hornets rout Pistons

The LaMelo Ball campaign for Rookie of the Year is officially back on.

The Charlotte Hornets point guard dazzled in Saturday's 107-84 win over the Detroit Pistons, his first game action in six weeks while recovering from a fractured right wrist.

Ball finished with 11 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and Charlotte outscored Detroit by 19 points in the 28 minutes he was on the floor.

It didn't take long for the 19-year old to make his impact felt as he found Miles Bridges with an assist just 21 seconds into the night.
