Ball (ankle/wrist) posted 24 points (7-20 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four assists and three rebounds across 33 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
Ball returned to action Sunday after missing the last three games with a left ankle sprain and right wrist sprain. He didn't appear to be operating under any major restrictions but had a somewhat subdued performance in his return, finishing below his season-long averages in scoring (29.8 points), assists (7.3) and rebounds (5.2). Even so, fantasy managers who had been stashing Ball in an injured reserve slot can feel comfortable activating him again ahead of the Hornets' four-game week.
