Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Available Monday

Ball (wrist) is available to play Monday against the Cavaliers.

Ball carried a probable tag coming into Monday's contest, and as expected, he will officially shed his injury designation. In 18 games this season, Ball has averaged 19.2 points, 8.6 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.7 threes across 28.6 minutes. While Ball will suit up Monday, it's likely he'll rest during the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set Tuesday against Washington.
