Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Available to return

Ball (eye) is available to return to Monday's game against the Pelicans.

After being diagnosed with a right eye laceration due to a collision with head coach Charles Lee during the first quarter, Ball is good to go for the remainder of Monday's contest following a visit to the locker room. The star guard should be able to handle his normal duties, as there's no word that he'll be restricted in any way.
