UPDATE: Knueppel will not return tonight.
With 6:09 left in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel was replaced by Sion James. Knueppel casually dribbled the up the court to get the Hornets into an offensive set. After probing a bit, he crossed over and dribbled the ball of his leg. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring in the process. Knuppel is now in the locker room.
Before exiting, Knueppel contributed three points and two turnovers in six minutes of action. Wednesday marked Knueppel’s debut after missing the start of the season due to a left hamstring strain.
