Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball’s season may be over due to a wrist injury suffered during Saturday’s 125-98 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. 

Ball’s development has made the Hornets one of the best breakout stories of the 2020-21 season. He’s the Rookie of the Year favorite, averaging 15.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game. 

With Ball out of action for the time being, Hornets head coach James Borrego will turn to Devonte’ Graham and Malik Monk as his primary point guards. 

How will the Hornets fair without Ball?
