Kon Knueppel is out for the Charlotte Hornets’ Friday night game at the Washington Wizards, the NBA’s official injury report showed as of 12:30 a.m. ET, with his reason listed as a G League assignment.
The Hornets assigned the second-year wing to the Greensboro Swarm, their G League affiliate, on Thursday to practice, the team announced. The assignment suggests last season’s Rookie of the Year runner-up is ramping up his activity and nearing his season debut after a left hamstring strain sidelined him this fall.
Knueppel has yet to play this season. Tipoff in Washington is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET Friday. Earlier injury coverage: Kon Knueppel is out for the Hornets’ Monday game against the Wizards with a left hamstring strain.
