The Charlotte Hornets are 3-2 early in the season despite missing key starters Kon Knueppel and Coby White, along with role player Grant Williams. Multiple outlets report that Knueppel’s hamstring injury is trending positively, with Charlotte keeping his return on the near-term radar.
Outlet coverage focuses on the specifics of his rehab timeline and availability. Yardbarker emphasizes that Knueppel has not played yet due to the hamstring injury suffered during training camp. Yahoo Sports frames his situation as “nearly back,” while Yahoo Sports’ NBA desk adds operational detail, saying he is assigned to practice with the Hornets’ G League affiliate on Thursday. That same report notes he remains out for Friday’s game, the first of the Hornets’ back-to-back schedule, highlighting a gradual step toward returning to the main roster.
