Ball was one of several Hornets who entered COVID protocols over the last week and a half. Terry Rozier made his return to the court for the Hornets on Monday while Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels cleared protocol on Monday.
In LaMelo’s absence, the Hornets have lost three of fives games and play their next game on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs.
