Hornets guard Kon Knueppel expected to miss 4 more weeks after reinjuring hamstring
The second-year guard aggravated the same hamstring that cost him the first two weeks of the season, and Charlotte will reevaluate him in four weeks.
- On Sunday, the Charlotte Hornets announced that guard Dennis Schroder has a left hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in two weeks, while second-year guard Kon Knueppel faces at least four weeks out with a similar injury.
- During Wednesday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Knueppel, the NBA Rookie runner-up to Cooper Flagg, aggravated his left hamstring while dribbling and exited just six minutes into the game.
- Knueppel previously missed the first two weeks of the season after injuring that same hamstring over the summer, preventing him from participating in preseason and the first eight games of the year.
- The Hornets have lost six consecutive games, with Knueppel's absence looming large as the team has lost its top 3-pointer shooter from the previous season.
- With both players sidelined, the Hornets must adjust their rotation while awaiting medical reevaluations for their backcourt contributors in the coming weeks.
