LaMelo Ball Badly Injures Ankle Stepping On Courtside Fan’s Foot

LaMelo Ball may be out for the foreseeable future after he reinjured his ankle stepping on a courtside fan’s foot … and it’s now got a great deal of individuals questioning, is it time to press viewers back at NBA arenas??

Melo was trying to confine a loose ball late in the Hornets’ video game versus the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night … when he unintentionally arrived on a guy’s foot who was parked simply inches far from the court.

You can see in broadcast replays of the event, as Ball was coming down on the man’s shoe, his ankle turned awkwardly … and he was left in a stack of discomfort.

The 21-year-old — who had actually formerly missed out on time this season due to an injury on the exact same ankle — raced to his bench while grimacing, prior to he ultimately required help to return into the locker space.

Charlotte wound up losing the video game, 125-113. Afterward, Hornets coach Steve Clifford did not have an upgrade on his star’s status.

It’s the 2nd time in less than 2 weeks that an individual on an NBA flooring has actually had an incident with a courtside fan. You’ll recall, on Nov. 7, Meek Mill unintentionally tripped a ref while his legs were extended in his seat.
