Terry Rozier scored 22 points as the Charlotte Hornets eased past the Detroit Pistons but LaMelo Ball suffered an injury for the fourth time this season. The Hornets took the lead early in the first quarter and never looked back, emerging to an impressive 117-106 win over Detroit to pick up their fifth straight win in a row. It's the longest win streak for the team since March 22. Despite the respectable streak, the Hornets saw Ball, an all-star caliber player, suffer yet another injury. This time, it's LaMelo's right ankle that was the culprit after he awkwardly fell on the court midway through the third quarter. He has ruled out for the remainder of the game afterward. Ball has missed over 25 games due to a left ankle injury at various parts of this season. Following the game, the Hornets announced that an x-ray revealed Ball fractured his ankle. He has been ruled out of Charlotte's next game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday and updates are expected at a later time.
