The Charlotte Hornets will take on the Orlando Magic tomorrow night for the final playoff spot in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. Orlando lost to the Philadelphia 76ers last night 109-97 in the play-in tournament. Charlotte beat Orlando three out of four times this season.
Meanwhile, the NBA has fined Hornets guard Lamelo Ball $60,000 for two incidents in Tuesday’s win against the Miami Heat. After a review, the league assessed a flagrant foul against Ball for tripping Bam Adebayo in the first half and fined him $35,000.
Ball was not called for a foul by referees. He was asked about it after the game.
"I apologize on that one. I mean, I got hit in the head, didn't really know where I was, but I'm going to check on him and see if he's OK and everything," Ball said.
Additionally, Ball was fined $25,000 for using profane language during a postgame TV interview.
