Charlotte Hornets Injury Report: Will LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller play against Clippers? (Jan. 31)

The Charlotte Hornets and LA Clippers are set to square off in an interconference regular season matchup on Friday. The Hornets will be severely short-handed due to a string of injuries, including key absences of LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.

LaMelo Ball sprained his left ankle during Charlotte’s loss to the Lakers on Monday and has been ruled out for at least a week. His return will depend on how he progresses during re-evaluation, with a tentative comeback expected around Feb. 12.

The Hornets suffered a major setback when Brandon Miller was ruled out for the remainder of the season. The former Alabama standout has already undergone surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist.

Mark Williams (foot injury management) will miss the game against the Clippers, but he is expected to return to action against the Denver Nuggets on Feb. 1. Additionally, Cody Martin (left groin tightness) has been ruled out for Friday’s game.

Similar to Miller, Grant Williams has also been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a torn right ACL. Meanwhile, Tre Mann remains sidelined with spinal disc irritation and the Hornets have yet to provide an official update on his condition.

On a more positive note, Josh Green is listed as "probable" with right foot soreness, making it likely that the former Dallas Mavericks player will be available to play on Friday.
