With LaMelo Ball’s injury, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that despite being pretty aggressive in the trade market before, the Charlotte Hornets have “retreated” from it now. Now, this does not mean no moves will be made, but the chances of a major deal seemed to have decreased for now. After their win against the Houston Rockets, the Hornets sit at fourth place in the Eastern Conference with a 22-21 record.
