The Charlotte Hornets are having one of their best stretches in years during this February run, battling hard for a play-in spot and maybe even sneaking into the playoffs. The team has been clicking under coach Charles Lee, leaning heavily on Brandon Miller’s breakout play, LaMelo Ball’s electric scoring and passing, and rookie sharpshooter Kon Knueppel, who’s been shattering three-point records since day one.
The only real clouds have been the suspensions of Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabaté, but even with those absences, Charlotte looks like a team on the rise for the first time in a while.
LaMelo Ball Crash Video Surfaces in Uptown Charlotte
A wild incident went viral overnight when a video showed LaMelo Ball involved in a strange crash in uptown Charlotte. The clip, shared widely on X, captures the moment his white Lamborghini appeared to clip another vehicle at an intersection before speeding off.
No serious injuries were reported from the scene, but what has everyone talking is reports that Ball left the area quickly in the same Lambo instead of staying put. Police have not confirmed any official charges or investigation details yet, but the footage has fans and media buzzing about what exactly happened and whether any traffic laws were broken.
Hornets’ Playoff Push Continues
The Hornets still have plenty of basketball left to play, and this crash won’t change their on-court trajectory unless something major develops legally.
Charlotte sits right in the mix for that 10th seed in the East, with LaMelo’s playmaking and Miller/Knueppel’s scoring giving them real firepower.
The next stretch of games will be huge, wins against similar-level teams could lock them into the play-in conversation. For now, the organization and fans will hope this stays a one-off incident and doesn’t pull focus from what’s shaping up as their most promising season in years.
