Charlotte Hornets' dynamic point guard, LaMelo Ball, recently found himself in a bit of a traffic mishap in Uptown. Captured on video, Ball's Hummer collided with another vehicle at an intersection. Fortunately, both drivers emerged unscathed, with the other driver promptly checking on Ball's well-being.
The specifics of who caused the accident remain unclear. Eyewitnesses reported that the sedan involved was heading east on Trade Street, while Ball was moving west and attempted a left turn onto a one-way street, leading to the collision. After the incident, Ball was seen leaving the scene in a Lamborghini, while both vehicles were towed away.
LaMelo has faced some scrutiny in the past for his driving habits, with several clips surfacing of him speeding away from the Spectrum Center.
Despite this off-court incident, it looks like Ball will be ready to hit the hardwood as the Hornets gear up to face the Houston Rockets at home on Thursday. There's no indication that Ball will miss any game time due to the accident.
On the court, the Hornets have been on a tear, climbing the Eastern Conference standings with impressive play. Once sitting outside the Play-In spots, they’ve surged to the ninth seed, showing they have the momentum to keep climbing if they maintain their current form.
