Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel is expected to make his NBA season debut when the team faces the Brooklyn Nets, according to a report from Rookie Wire. The sharpshooter, who has been sidelined to start the campaign, could see his first regular-season action on November 4, 2026.
Knueppel, known for his perimeter shooting, joins a Hornets backcourt looking for offensive spacing. The matchup against the Nets presents his first opportunity to contribute at the NBA level after missing the opening stretch of the season.
