Hornets Rookie Kon Knueppel to Miss Four More Weeks with Hamstring Strain; Miller Also Out vs. Cavaliers
The Charlotte Hornets released their latest injury report on November 8: rookie Kon Knueppel has been diagnosed with a hamstring strain and will miss another four weeks.
The Duke product already missed the first eight games of the season with the same type of injury and was hurt again shortly after returning, a blow to the team's rotation. For the November 9 home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte will be without two starters — Knueppel and Brandon Miller, who left the November 6 game with an injury — as well as Dennis Schroder and Grant Williams, who has yet to make his season debut. Grayson Allen is a likely fill-in starter, with Sion James, Royce O'Neale and Tidjane Salaun candidates to replace Miller at small forward.
For Cleveland, Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill are out and Jarrett Allen is questionable. Charlotte's slow start, now compounded by multiple key injuries, will test the team's depth.
