Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Resting Sunday

Ball (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Ball and Brandon Miller will rest after playing Saturday, so Sion James, Collin Sexton and Tre Mann are candidates for increased roles. Ball posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists and four rebounds in 25 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Clippers and will likely be back in action Wednesday against the Knicks.
