LaMelo Ball Probable for Hornets' Game Against Lakers Due to Ankle Soreness

LaMelo Ball is dealing with right ankle soreness but is probable to play against the Los Angeles Lakers on February 19, 2025. He has played 33 games this season, averaging 27.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game.

This injury follows a series of ankle issues for Ball, including previous games where he was out or questionable.
