Knueppel Exits Game with Ankle Injury After 16-Point Quarter; X-Rays Negative

Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel exited Friday's game vs. Magic in the second quarter due to a right ankle injury, sustained after landing on Desmond Bane's shoe. X-rays were negative, but he'll undergo further testing in Charlotte and is highly questionable for Monday's game. Before his exit, Knueppel recorded 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, and one assist in 15 minutes, including an explosive 16-point first quarter. He entered the game averaging 19.4 points and recently became the fastest NBA player to hit 100 3-pointers in 29 games.
