Ball injured his wrist on March 20th, and was thought to be out for the remainder of the season. Charlotte has gone 8-7 in his absence, and sit at 28-28, comfortably within the play-in tournament zone. However, they could use the frontrunner in the Rookie of the Year race to close the season strong and head into the playoffs with momentum.

Look for Ball to get back into the Hornets lineup within the next 7-10 days. So far in his rookie season, Ball has averaged 15.9 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 6.1 apg & 1.6 apg. Check out some of Ball's best highlights from the season thus far...
