On Monday evening, the Charlotte Hornets will host the Chicago Bulls in North Carolina.
For the game, they will likely remain without their best player, as LaMelo Ball is on the injury report.
The 2022 NBA All-Star also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).
