Coby White, Kon Knueppel and more to miss Hornets' home opener vs. Hawks
Coby White, Kon Knueppel and more will miss Charlotte's home opener against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Charlotte Hornets will begin their home season against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, October 23, but several key players will miss the game. Coby White, Kon Knueppel, Grant Williams, and Kylan Boswell will be sidelined. Knueppel, who had an impressive rookie season averaging 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, missed just one game last year.
In their absence, the Hornets will rely heavily on Brandon Miller and Grayson Allen to step up. Naz Reid, who tied a career-high with seven assists against the Brooklyn Nets, will be a player to watch. For the Atlanta Hawks, Jalen Johnson and veteran guard CJ McCollum will be relied upon. Following their game against the Hawks on Friday, the Hornets will host the Miami Heat in a home game on Saturday, marking the second night of a back-to-back.
