Following the Hornets' win, the NBA released the Last Two Minute Report, admitting an officiating mistake that could have been costly for Charlotte.

Following a rough 104-83 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the Charlotte Hornets announced LaMelo Ball will be re-evaluated in a week after spraining his ankle in Monday’s defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers. The star guard had an MRI that confirmed the severity and original diagnosis.
