Quick Departure
Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel played less than six minutes in his season debut before exiting. He showed discomfort in his left leg while handling the ball with 6:12 remaining in the first quarter against the Brooklyn Nets. After the ball went out of bounds, he appeared to favor the leg and was ruled out by halftime due to soreness.
Injury Background
Knueppel first hurt his left hamstring during offseason workouts. That issue kept him out of all preseason games and the team's first eight regular-season contests. His return occurred one game after teammate Coby White made his own season debut following an offseason calf problem.
Rookie Foundation
In his first NBA season Knueppel led the league in three-pointers and placed second to Cooper Flagg in rookie of the year voting.
