LaMelo Ball Won't Play Against Atlanta
2 years agoCharlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Hawks, as expected. The 21-year-old is working his way back from a sprained left ankle suffered in the preseason, so he may need a few more games off before he's ready to return. With Terry Rozier (ankle) doubtful, Dennis Smith Jr. may enter the start lineup. Smith has averaged 11.0 points, 4.0 assists, and 2.5 steals while shooting 80% from deep this season. Although he's not a consistent scoring threat, his defensive prowess could make a difference for category managers looking for swipes.
