Knueppel closed Friday's 122-121 loss to the Bucks with 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes.
Knueppel made his second appearance of the season in his hometown of Milwaukee, having dropped a then career-high 32 points Nov. 14. The first-round rookie showed off his scoring prowess once again during Friday's loss, finishing with a team-high 26 points while extending his streak of at least three three-pointers to nine games. Knueppel is averaging 19.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.6 threes over 33.1 minutes per game and has placed himself firmly in the conversation for the NBA Rookie of the Year award.

After missing Monday's game against the Bucks with a minor ankle sprain, Knueppel returned and scored at least 20 points for the fifth time in his last eight contests. Over that stretch, the rookie wing is averaging 23.0 points, 4.6 assists, 4.5 threes and 4.1 boards.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Receives green light
Knueppel (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Knueppel will return from a one-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. The rookie could be tasked with an even larger offensive role Wednesday due to the potential absence of Miles Bridges (ankle), who's listed as doubtful. Knueppel is averaging 19.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Likely to play Wednesday
Knueppel (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Knueppel sustained a right ankle sprain in Friday's win over Orlando and was forced to miss Monday's loss to Milwaukee, though he's likely to return Wednesday. The rookie first-rounder's potential return would leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Sion James, Josh Green and Collin Sexton. Over 11 appearances in December, Knueppel has averaged 20.9 points, 4.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game. During that span, he has shot an impressive 45.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Out for Monday
Knueppel (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Knueppel will miss Monday's contest due to a right ankle sprain he suffered during Friday's win against Orlando. Recent reports from head coach Charles Lee suggest Knueppel has been progressing well since sustaining the injury, and he is considered day-to-day. Knueppel's next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Warriors.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Considered day-to-day
Head coach Charles Lee said Sunday that Knueppel has a sprained right ankle and is considered day-to-day, Jeremy Grandison of Fourcast Sports reports.
Knueppel sustained the ankle injury in Friday's win over Orlando and was unable to return. However, he recently underwent further testing and now appears to be trending in the right direction. Lee added that the rookie first-rounder has made "good progress" and has been able to do "a little bit on the court" since suffering the injury. Knueppel can be considered highly questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks. If he's ultimately ruled out, Sion James and Collin Sexton are candidates for increased roles.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: To undergo further testing
Head coach Charles Lee said after Friday's 120-105 win over Orlando that X-rays on Knueppel's right ankle came back negative, and he'll undergo further testing when the team returns to Charlotte, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Knueppel injured his right ankle late in the second quarter and was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the contest, finishing with 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes. The rookie first-rounder will be further evaluated ahead of Monday's game against the Bucks in Charlotte, and he can be considered highly questionable for that one until the Hornets provide an update on his status. If the sharpshooter is forced to miss additional time, Sion James and Collin Sexton are candidates for increased roles.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Won't return Friday
Knueppel won't return to Friday's game against the Magic due to a right ankle injury.
The rookie first-rounder sustained the ankle injury late in the second quarter and was helped to the locker room. He'll finish with 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes. Collin Sexton, Sion James and Josh Green are candidates to see increased minutes the rest of the way due to Knueppel being sidelined. His next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Bucks.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Exits to locker room
Knueppel exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's game against the Magic due to an apparent right leg injury, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
The rookie first-rounder stepped on Moussa Diabate's foot and was helped off the court while putting very little weight on his right leg. If Knueppel is unable to return, Collin Sexton, Sion James and Josh Green are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.

There weren't many positives for the Hornets, but their rookie continues to establish himself as the franchise player. Over his last 13 games, Knueppel has produced top-50 fantasy numbers in nine-category formats with 20.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.8 three-pointers.

The rookie wing led all scorers on the afternoon as he topped 20 points for the third time in the last four games. Knueppel is seeing significant usage for the injury-plagued Hornets, scoring in double digits in 12 of the last 13 contests and averaging 21.0 points, 4.8 boards, 4.1 assists, 3.8 threes and 0.8 steals in 35.3 minutes over that stretch.
