In a recent turn of events, Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball found himself in a bit of a fender bender in Uptown. Video footage captures the moment when Ball's Hummer collided with another vehicle at an intersection. Thankfully, both drivers emerged unscathed, with the other driver promptly checking on Ball's condition.
While the cause of the accident remains unclear, eyewitness accounts suggest that Ball was attempting a left turn onto a one-way street, leading to the mishap. After the incident, Ball was seen leaving the scene in a Lamborghini, and both vehicles involved were towed away.
This isn't the first time Ball's driving has come under scrutiny. Over the years, he's faced criticism for his fast exits from the Spectrum Center, captured in various videos.
Looking ahead, the Hornets have a matchup against the Houston Rockets on Thursday. The good news for fans is that Ball isn't expected to miss any action due to the accident.
The Hornets have been on a tear lately, climbing the Eastern Conference standings with a string of impressive performances. Once sitting outside the Play-In picture, they've surged to the ninth seed, positioning themselves well for a potential playoff push if they keep up their current form.
