Hornets guard Kon Knueppel expected to miss 4 more weeks after reinjuring hamstring
The second-year guard will be reevaluated after aggravating the same hamstring that cost him the first two weeks of the season.
- On Sunday, the Charlotte Hornets announced that guard Dennis Schroder and second-year guard Kon Knueppel were both diagnosed with left hamstring strains, sidelining key contributors.
- Knueppel re-injured the same hamstring he sustained during the offseason, which caused him to miss the entire preseason and the first eight games of the season.
- During Wednesday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Knueppel aggravated the injury just six minutes into his season debut, limping off the court after dribbling the ball off his leg.
- Charlotte has lost six consecutive games, with the absence of key contributors looming large as the team struggles without its starting rotation.
- As the league's leading 3-point shooter last season and runner-up to Cooper Flagg for NBA Rookie of the Year, Knueppel faces at least four weeks of recovery.
