Charlotte Hornets All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball will miss the remainder of the season with his fractured right ankle, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. 

Ball has averaged 23.3 points, 8.4 assists and 6.4 rebounds for the Southeast Division-dwelling Hornets (20-43). 

A native of Chino Hills, Calif., Ball earned his first All-Star nod in the 2021-22 season, as he averaged 20.1 points, 7.6 assists and 6.7 rebounds. 

A season prior, Ball was named the 2020-21 Rookie of the Year and was named to the 2021-22 NBA All-Rookie Team. 

LaMelo's brother and Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo was shut down for the remainder of the season with a knee injury earlier in February.
