The Charlotte Hornets All-Star LaMelo Ball is officially changing his jersey number from number 2 to number 1 for the next season, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
The most famous player in Hornets franchise history that wore number 1 was Muggsy Bogues that played for Charlotte for 9 seasons from 1988 to 1997.
Ball who was drafted 3rd overall in the 2020 NBA draft made an All-Star game already in his second season in the league.
The 2.03-meters tall point guard last season averaged 20.1 points, 7.6 assists, and 6.7 rebounds per game.
