The Hornets are now 2-4 in their first six games of the new season.

They will resume action on Monday when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center.

LaMelo Ball is the first player since 1986 to have consecutive 30-point games while fouling out.

He’s fouled out in half of his games this season. pic.twitter.com/O1n8RlhXiY
