Hornets guard LaMelo Ball is expected to play against the Rockets a day after being in a car crash‎

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball is not listed on the team’s injury report and is expected to play Thursday night against the Houston Rockets, one day after being involved in a two-car crash in Charlotte. The Hornets are one of the NBA’s hottest teams having won 10 of their last 11 games and Ball is a big reason for that success. Ball appeared to be driving through an intersection when his camouflage-colored, custom-made Hummer collided with another vehicle Wednesday, according to video obtained by WSOC-TV in Charlotte.
