Kon Knueppel Cleared to Practice with G League Affiliate Greensboro Swarm

Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel (hamstring) will practice with the team's NBA G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, on Thursday, the team announced. Knueppel is working his way back from a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined, and practicing with the Swarm represents an encouraging key step forward in his rehabilitation process. The Hornets will monitor his progress during Thursday's practice session before determining the next steps for his eventual return to the active roster.
