Charlotte Hornets’ star LaMelo Ball escaped injury after being involved in a two-car collision in downtown Charlotte on Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Video obtained by WSOC-TV showed Ball driving a camouflage-coloured, custom Hummer through an intersection when it collided with a Kia.

Footage from the scene captured the aftermath: the left front tyre of Ball’s truck was missing, and police had already arrived. Ball, wearing an aqua-coloured Charlotte Hornets hoodie, was seen stepping out from the driver’s side of the damaged SUV.

A second clip later showed him getting into a Lamborghini and leaving the scene.

The driver of the Kia was reportedly treated for minor injuries.

Video showed that the driver exited his vehicle calmly and walked toward Ball’s truck after the crash. There was no immediate update on that individual’s condition beyond initial reports of minor harm.

The incident comes as the NBA prepares to resume play following the All-Star break. The Hornets practised earlier in the day and have not released an official statement regarding the crash.

Hornets enter the restart in strong form, having won 10 of their past 11 games to move to 26-29 on the season. They are scheduled to host the Houston Rockets on Thursday night.

Ball has been central to the Charlotte’s recent surge, orchestrating the offence and helping the franchise stay competitive in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
