lamelo ball Involved in Downtown Charlotte Crash; Not Injured

Charlotte Hornets guard lamelo ball was involved in a two-car collision in downtown Charlotte on Wednesday, but was not injured, team sources and available footage indicate. The incident occurred at the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets and drew immediate attention after video of the crash circulated locally.

What footage and statements show

Video from the scene captures a camouflage-colored, custom GMC Hummer moving through the intersection at the time of impact with a gray sedan. After the collision, someone is seen exiting the sedan and approaching the Hummer. The truck involved matches the description of a vehicle owned by Ball. In the footage, Ball exits the Hummer and then boards a different vehicle that departs the scene.

Local law enforcement has not confirmed the identities of those involved and has provided limited details publicly. Emergency responders do not appear in the available video, and there are no visible signs that serious injuries occurred. Multiple local accounts indicate Ball was unhurt.

Legal background and ongoing matters

The crash comes amid pending legal scrutiny stemming from an unrelated incident last October outside a team venue. In May 2024, a lawsuit was filed alleging that Ball drove over an 11-year-old boy’s foot as the child sought an autograph after an event, resulting in a broken foot. The family is seeking more than $25, 000 in damages, and that case remains in litigation.

While the current downtown crash appears not to have produced significant injuries, it adds to a string of off-court incidents the team and player will have to manage. The team’s schedule resumes competition this week, and staff will be monitoring both the legal situation and any internal reviews the team may conduct following the collision.

Team and season context

On the court, Ball has been a central figure for the Hornets this season, averaging about 19 points and 7 assists per game. The team was preparing to return to action after the All-Star break when the crash occurred. Team officials have not released a public statement about disciplinary or roster implications stemming from the incident.

For now, the immediate priorities are clear: any formal investigation by police will determine whether further action is needed, and the ongoing civil litigation from last year will continue through the courts. In the short term, Ball’s availability for upcoming games appears intact, and he is expected to rejoin the team for their next scheduled matchup.

Filmogaz will monitor official updates from authorities and team channels and provide new information as it becomes available.
