Limited practice participant Ball (calf) joined "group/team setting work" at practice Wednesday, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
Impact Ball being on the floor to presumably work in position groups and scheme work sheds light on his status, with key next steps being an ascension to partial contact or mini scrimmages. Ball is due for a formal re-evaluation on his left calf strain in coming days.

Hornets Star LaMelo Ball To Miss Multiple Weeks With Major Injury One of the league’s top scorers this year has been bit by the injury bug yet again.
NOVEMBER 30 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Will miss some time Ball has been diagnosed with a left calf strain and will be reevaluated two weeks from the date of the injury sustained on Nov. 27.
Impact Ball injured his left calf in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game versus Miami. Two weeks from that date will be Dec. 11, which means a reasonable estimation for his earliest return may not be until Dec. 19 at Washington following the NBA's in-season tournament. The star guard has averaged career highs in points (31.1) and three-pointers (4.7) this season, both of which rank second league-wide. Additionally, he has logged 5.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 18 games. Tre Mann (back) has already been ruled out Saturday, but will be the primary option to fill in at point guard when healthy. Other candidates to see increased workloads in Ball's absence are Brandon Miller, Seth Curry, Vasilije Micic and Cody Martin.

LaMelo Ball is injured. Here's what's wrong with Hornets' star, how long he could be out The injury occurred during Wednesday night’s loss to the Miami Heat and Ball won’t play vs. New York on Friday.
NOVEMBER 28 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM
Won't play Friday Ball has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks due to left calf soreness.
Impact Ball sustained the injury during the final sequence of Wednesday's loss to Miami and will continue to be evaluated. However, it's worth noting that Friday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so his absence may simply be precautionary, though Ball should be considered questionable at best for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta. With Tre Mann (back) also out, Vasilije Micic, Nick Smith, Seth Curry and KJ Simpson are candidates for increased roles against the Knicks.

Quantity over quality in loss Ball logged 32 points (11-35 FG, 7-20 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 loss to Miami.
Impact Ball scored at least 30 points for the fourth straight game, albeit on high volume and low efficiency. With the Hornets very thin at the moment, Ball has taken it upon himself to shoulder the bulk of the offensive load, firing up 130 shot attempts over those four games. While his shot selection may be somewhat of an issue, the lack of a supporting cast should result in him continuing on his merry way.
