Kon Knueppel Ramping Up Workload Amid Hamstring Recovery

Charlotte Hornets head coach Charles Lee announced that Kon Knueppel (hamstring) is without a definitive timetable for his return, though he is ramping up activities and taking more contact in practice. Knueppel missed the preseason due to a left hamstring injury. Lee declined to comment on the second-year wing's status for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, leaving him listed as highly questionable until further updates emerge.
