Charlotte Hornets All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball is expected to miss one to two weeks because of his sprained left ankle, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Tuesday.
The Hornets had earlier announced that an MRI confirmed that Ball has a sprained ankle and his return to full basketball activities would be determined by how he responds to rehab and treatment, adding that further updates on his status will be provided as appropriate.
Ball left Monday night's preseason game against the Washington Wizards after his left foot was stepped on by Anthony Gill as he was driving toward the basket.
Ball collapsed to the floor and remained there for several minutes before getting up, limping to the foul line and shooting two free throws.
