LaMelo Ball - Will play Wednesday Ball (ankle) has been upgraded to available and will play Wednesday against the Pistons.

Impact Ball was initially deemed a game-time call for this contest, but the upgrade to available suggests the star floor general shouldn't have any limitations or restrictions Wednesday. Ball is averaging 28.6 points, 5.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game this season, and his presence will give the Hornets a huge boost on both ends of the court.

Cody Martin - Upgraded to available Martin (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Martin has been dealing with an illness, but he has been deemed healthy enough to play. Don't expect him to have any limitations in this contest. Martin is averaging 22.3 minutes per game in his last four appearances since moving to a bench role in late October.

Mark Williams - Still limited to individual drills Coach Charles Lee said Wednesday that Williams (foot) is still limited to individual drills, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Williams' continued activity is a good sign, but he's still a few hurdles away from being cleared for game action. With Nick Richards (ribs) sidelined indefinitely, the Hornets need all the help they can get, though Williams will presumably be limited upon his return. He's yet to play this season, played only 19 regular-season games last year and made 43 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2022-23.

LaMelo Ball - A game-time decision Wednesday Ball (ankle) is dealing with general soreness in his right ankle and is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game versus Detroit, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Ball battling soreness his surgically repaired right angle isn't ideal, but he appears to only be dealing with minor wear and tear. Coach Charles Lee noted that Charlotte playing three games in four nights to start November took a toll on Ball, although there is still a chance that he suits up. Cody Martin (illness) is probable to play while Tre Mann's usage could skyrocket if Ball is unavailable.

LaMelo Ball - Iffy for Wednesday Ball is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with right ankle soreness.

Impact Ball was a late addition to the injury report after the morning shootaround, suggesting he tweaked something there. Given Ball's history of ankle issues, this is something for fantasy managers to watch very closely. If Ball is unable to play Wednesday, Tre Mann would likely see a big usage rate spike with Vasilije Micic potentially becoming more involved.

DaQuan Jeffries - Another absence coming Jeffries (hand) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Pistons.

Impact Jeffries will miss his eighth straight game to start the season Wednesday while recovering from a fractured right hand. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Indiana.

Cody Martin - Dealing with minor illness Martin is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to an illness.

Impact After opening the season as a starter, Martin has given way to Josh Green. Martin remains a key bench piece, but he's played less than 20 minutes in two straight games. The illness appears minor, but the Hornets will likely wait until after pregame warmups to determine his availability.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Richards - Diagnosed with rib fracture The Hornets announced Tuesday that an MRI revealed Richards has a right first rib cartilage fracture underneath his clavicle.

Impact The injury was initially reported as a shoulder injury, and Richards has already missed two games since sustaining the injury during last Friday's loss to the Celtics. The backup big man is now looking at a long-term absence, and starting center Mark Williams (back) remains with a return timeline. In their absences, Moussa Diabate, Grant Williams, Taj Gibson and Tidjane Salaun are candidates for increased roles.

LaMelo Ball - Held in check Ball provided 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 114-93 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact The Hornets had an off night overall, and not a single starter eclipsed 26 minutes on the night as the team fell to 2-5 on the season. Despite this dud, Ball has been very productive overall, posting averages of 28.6 points, 5.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 4.6 three-pointers through seven contests.
