NBA Injuries

The Hornets say Kon Knueppel will remain out Friday against Washington but today’s practice session with Charlotte’s @nbagleague team was a needed step in his return-to-play protocol from a left hamstring injury that has delayed the start of Knueppel’s second NBA season.

The Hornets say they have assigned Kon Knueppel to the @greensboroswarm for today’s practice.
