Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Game-time decision Wednesday

Ball (ankle) is dealing with general soreness in his right ankle and is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game versus Detroit, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Ball battling soreness in his surgically repaired right ankle isn't ideal, but he appears to be dealing with only minor wear and tear. Coach Charles Lee noted that Charlotte playing three games in four nights to start November took a toll on Ball, although there is still a chance that he suits up. Cody Martin (illness) is probable to play while Tre Mann's usage could skyrocket if Ball is unavailable.
