Ball will get back on the floor for the Hornets on Sunday after resting during Friday's loss to the Thunder. The star guard has struggled in the shooting department this season but is otherwise having a career year, averaging a career-high 25.4 points per game to go along with 5.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals.

That night, the one-time All-Star guard tweaked his ankle late in the first quarter of a matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Ball headed to the locker room, and at halftime, the Hornets announced that he would not be returning to the game. Prior to this Nets-Hornets showdown, Ball had missed five consecutive games with a sprain on his other ankle.
