The injury bug continues to hit the NBA this week.
The latest team to get bit by the injury bug was the Charlotte Hornets. Star guard LaMelo Ball suffered a bizarre non-contact injury in the third quarter of Monday night's Hornets tilt against the Detroit Pistons.
While it looked like a potentially harmless fall, Ball apparently suffered a fracture on the play, according to Shams Charania. That could derail the rest of Ball's already injury-plagued campaign.
Here's the video:
