The Charlotte Hornets have faced a challenging season, with injuries significantly contributing to their 8-27 record. However, there is some positive news on that front.

LaMelo Ball, who has been absent for 20 games due to a severe ankle sprain since November 26, may make a comeback on Friday. This marks a month-and-a-half absence for Ball. His status has been elevated to questionable for the upcoming game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Additionally, Frank Ntilikina, who has been sidelined for the entire season due to a preseason fractured leg, has also been upgraded to questionable.
