Despite the highlight, the Charlotte Hornets lost to the Philadelphia 76ers by a score of 121-108 (at home).

They are now 7-19 in 26 games, which has them as the 13th seed in the Eastern Conference.

In addition, the Hornets have lost two straight (and are 1-9 over their last ten games).

Following the 76ers, they will play their next game on Thursday evening when they visit Jordan Poole and the Washington Wizards.

The Hornets will then play the 76ers (again) on Friday evening in Philadelphia.

Ball was the third pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Hornets.

He has spent all five seasons of his career in Charlotte.

It's very possible that Ball could make his second All-Star Game this season.
