Rookie Knueppel Probable for Wednesday Return from Ankle Sprain

Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, aiming to return from a right ankle sprain sustained Friday that caused him to miss Monday's game. The first-rounder has been impressive in December, averaging 20.9 points, 4.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.0 three-pointers on 45.4% shooting from deep over 11 appearances. His return would reduce minutes for Sion James, Josh Green, and Collin Sexton.
