The Charlotte Hornets will be without Kon Knueppel for at least the remainder of the preseason after the team announced Friday that he is dealing with a left hamstring injury.
The injury removes Knueppel from Charlotte’s preseason rotation as the Hornets continue their preparations for the upcoming regular season. The team did not announce any additional details beyond confirming the hamstring issue and his preseason absence.
Hornets Adjust Preseason Plans
Knueppel’s absence comes during a period when teams typically use preseason games to evaluate lineups, build conditioning and establish rhythm before the regular season begins. Charlotte will have to proceed through that process without him available for game action.
No further timeline was provided beyond Knueppel being ruled out for at least the entire preseason.
