The Charlotte Hornets point guard, LaMelo Ball, recorded 11 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in the 105-101 loss to the Houston Rockets on Thursday night. This game came a day after Ball was involved in a car accident in Charlotte.
Ball was driving through an intersection when his custom camouflage-colored Hummer collided with another vehicle on Wednesday. In a video, Ball is seen wearing a teal Hornets hoodie, getting out of his truck and getting into a black Lamborghini before being driven away. The police were present at the scene of the accident. When asked why he left the place, Ball replied: “No, you have to verify that”. The police report has not been published yet. No information was provided about the driver of the other vehicle involved, although a video shows a person calmly exiting the car and walking towards Ball’s truck after the crash. When questioned about the other person, Ball commented: “I saw her get out of the car directly.” The video reveals that the left front tire of Ball’s truck was missing.Fortunately, everyone is fine, so blessings. God is great.

Ball joins a list of professional athletes who have been involved in car accidents in Charlotte. The former Carolina Panthers quarterback, Cam Newton, broke his back in an accident in 2014, in which he flipped his truck near Bank of America Stadium, less than a mile from where Ball’s accident occurred. Furthermore, in 2024, the current Panthers backup quarterback, Andy Dalton, injured his thumb after being involved in a car accident in Charlotte. Former Hornets guard Bobby Phills died in a car accident at the age of 30, after a practice on January 12, 2000.I am alive and blessed. God is great, as I said.
