Remains out Friday Ball (ankle) will miss Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Ball continues to work his way back from a bothersome ankle issue that surfaced late in just his third appearance of the year for Charlotte.

Out again Wednesday Ball (ankle) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Ball will skip his third straight game while dealing with an ankle issue he suffered last Wednesday in just his second contest of the season. Given his previous injury with the same ankle to open the season, the team will presumably take a cautious approach to bring him back. Ball's next chance to return arrives Friday versus the Timberwolves.

Remains out Sunday Ball (ankle) will not play in Sunday's affair with the Wizards.

Impact Ball will miss a second straight contest due to a left ankle sprain suffered Wednesday after stepping on a fan sitting courtside. With Dennis Smith (ankle) questionable, the Hornets' backcourt will rely on the likes Terry Rozier, Theo Maledon and James Bouknight on Sunday. Ball's next opportunity to take the floor will come Wednesday against Philadelphia.

Won't play Friday Ball (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Cleveland, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Ball went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Pacers after rolling his ankle, and he underwent X-rays after the game that came back negative. He was unable to practice Thursday and will be forced to miss at least one game. Coach Steve Clifford said Thursday that he didn't know how long Ball would be sidelined, so he may wind up missing more than one matchup.

Impact Ball looked to have suffered the injury when he stepped on the foot of a fan sitting courtside. Given that Ball missed the first 13 games of the season with a sprained left ankle, the Hornets have some concern that the star point guard may have aggravated the injury Wednesday. Further testing in the coming days should provide more details regarding the extent of the injury, but at this point, it wouldn't be surprising if Ball were to miss a game or two, at the very least. Charlotte's next game will take place Friday in Cleveland.
