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.

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.

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.
