LaMelo Ball News: Out against Thunder

Ball (rest) won't play Saturday against the Thunder.

No surprise here, as the Hornets won't be taking any chances on the second leg of this back-to-back set given Ball's injury history. He returned from a five-game absence Friday and double-doubled with 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 assists and three rebounds across 27 minutes. Tre Mann and Collin Sexton are likely to see increased run as a result Saturday.
