Former Duke Star Suffers Injury, Will Be Out Of NBA Action For A While
Tough break for Knueppel, but hopefully, he’ll be back soon.
Former Duke star Kon Knueppel has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, which will sideline the second-year Charlotte Hornets player for a significant portion of the upcoming season. The injury marks Knueppel's first missed game and it's clear that his durability has been questioned in the past. While it's a setback for Knueppel, it's not ideal for the Hornets either.
They'll have a chance to assess players like Grayson Allen, Liam McNeely, and Buddy Hield, as well as rookie Christian Anderson, during the preseason. Once Knueppel returns, the Hornets could emerge stronger, benefiting from his experience in the process.
