White Makes Season Debut
The Charlotte Hornets hosted the Detroit Pistons on Monday with Coby White in the lineup for the first time this season. White, who suffered a calf injury during offseason workouts, started at point guard after the team traded LaMelo Ball earlier in the offseason. Dennis Schroder had filled that role during White's absence. The team plans to limit White's minutes over the next few games as he builds back into game shape.
Knueppel Closing In on Return
Second-year guard Kon Knueppel is also expected back soon after missing the start of the season with a hamstring injury sustained in offseason workouts. He has taken part in 5-on-5 drills and the team has introduced contact work. Knueppel, who led the NBA in three-pointers last season and finished second in rookie of the year voting, is set to reclaim a starting spot from Sion James. He averaged 18.5 points and 5.3 rebounds last season.
Upcoming Schedule
After Monday's game the Hornets travel to Brooklyn on Wednesday before returning home to face Boston on Thursday.
