Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball will not play Saturday in the team's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Ball is dealing with bilateral ankle and wrist soreness, which is why he entered the day with a doubtful tag. Now, he has said he will not play Saturday night in Atlanta. Expect Dennis Smith Jr. and Bryce McGowens to see more work at the point.
In 22 games this season, Ball is averaging 23.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 43.3 FanDuel points.
