NBA insider Jake Fischer believes that the Charlotte Hornets aren’t actively looking to move LaMelo Ball anytime soon, despite reports that the former Rookie of the Year is growing frustrated with the franchise.
“I can tell you with absolute certainty that the Charlotte Hornets are not actively looking to move LaMelo Ball anytime soon,” Fischer explained. “LaMelo Ball is not asking out, to my understanding, and the Hornets are not actively looking to move him by any stretch right now.”
“They want to see what this group could look like with Brandon Miller actually in the fold, with a full lineup—especially with Kon Knueppel being an immediate sniper,” he added.
To add credence to Fischer’s report, Ball recently reposted the original report from The Athletic with a clown emoji in an attempt to dispel the rumors of him wanting to leave the Charlotte Hornets.
Charlotte Hornets News: Insider reveals terrific news on Brandon Miller’s recovery
Charlotte Hornets beat writer Roderick Boone recently shared that Brandon Miller has returned to basketball activity after being sidelined by an injured left shoulder.
“Miller was assigned to the Greensboro Swarm, the Hornets’ G League affiliate, for practice Monday and then officially transferred back to Charlotte’s main roster. That’s typically what the Hornets do to get players who are coming back from injury live reps since practice time dwindles significantly during the NBA regular season,” Boone wrote in The Charlotte Observer.
Before he hurt his shoulder, Miller played two games for the Charlotte Hornets, averaging 14.5 points and 4.0 assists on 40.0 percent shooting from the field.
