It is commonly assumed that static friction does no work. However, if a ball is incident obliquely without spin on a horizontal surface, then the ball bounces with topspin. Work is therefore done by the friction force at the bottom of the ball to increase the rotational kinetic energy of the ball, even if the force is due to static friction.
