Hornets guard LaMelo Ball had another solid all-around performance with 25 points, seven assists, and five rebounds in the victory. The former all-star returned on Saturday after missing Friday night's loss against the Portland Trail Blazers with a wrist injury.

LaMelo Ball scored 25 points, Miles Bridges had 22 and the Charlotte Hornets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 123-92 on Saturday night.

Despite garnering the most fan votes among players in the Eastern Conference, the Charlotte Hornets point guard didn’t receive enough of the overall vote. Instead, New York’s Jalen Brunson and Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell will start for the conference in the league’s annual showcase.
