Ball had been coming off a sensational performance in Tuesday's preseason game against the Miami Heat.

The 23-year-old finished with 24 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block while shooting 6/12 from the three-point range in only 23 minutes of playing time (the Hornets won 111-108).

After missing most of last season, he looks to be as healthy as ever going into the new year.
