LaMelo Ball Expected To Play On Saturday
1 min agoCharlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (rest, ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ball figures to be back in action after sitting out of Thursday's contest which was the second game of a back-to-back set. The Hornets aren't playing for anything this season, so it appears they'll continue resting their franchise guard in one leg of back-to-back contests. Fantasy managers should expect Ball to be a full-go for Saturday's game. Elfrid Payton finished with zero points, two rebounds, and three assists in 16 minutes of action during a spot start on Thursday. He figures to resume his rotational role behind Ball on Saturday.
