The Charlotte Hornets are awaiting the return of guards Kon Knueppel and Coby White from injury as the team looks to regain depth in the backcourt. Both players were sidelined during the Hornets' home game against the Washington Wizards on October 26, 2026, at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Knueppel, wearing number 7, and White, number 3, were spotted on the bench alongside forward Grant Williams (number 2) during the first half of the contest. Their absence has left a noticeable gap in the Hornets' rotation, with the coaching staff emphasizing the need for their healthy return to bolster the lineup.
The Hornets' medical staff has not provided a specific timetable for either player's comeback, but the organization remains hopeful that both will be available for upcoming fixtures.
