CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — LaMelo Ball is once again contemplating wearing ankle braces if it means staying on the court.
Ball has been limited to 58 games the past two seasons because of ankle issues and hasn’t played for the Charlotte Hornets since Jan. 26. The 2022 All-Star point guard knows that needs to change.
“I’m going to see over the summer, try some stuff,” Ball said of the protective braces.
He said if he can find something that feels good “we can go from there.”
Ball started wearing ankle braces in practice before the season after three separate ankle injuries in 2022-23 sidelined him for long stretches and ultimately resulted in surgery. But he could never find anything he was completely comfortable with on his feet.
The ankle is feeling better now and Ball is looking forward to finally being healthy this summer and working on his game.
