Hornets fight back from 22 down to beat Pelicans 102-95 for 7th straight victory
- During the game on February 2, 2026, LaMelo Ball and coach Charles Lee collided near the Charlotte bench, briefly leaving Ball to be checked by trainers, and Charlotte won 102-5.
- As the ball headed out of bounds, Lee, pacing the sideline, bent to retrieve the ball and never saw Ball charging in, producing the head-to-head impact.
- Returned minutes later, Ball was glued a 1-inch laceration above his eye by team trainers and scored 26 points with eight rebounds.
- Lee sheepishly told reporters, `I took a play off and you're not supposed to take any plays off` and praised Ball, saying `It was a great job by him of responding to a foolish coach.`
- Ball told The Associated Press that `He went for the ball and I went for the ball and obviously we bumped heads`, while Lee praised Ball's quick return and spirit.
