Out · expected back around Nov 9
Knueppel re-aggravated his left hamstring strain in his season debut Wednesday against Brooklyn. The Hornets haven't yet indicated the sharpshooter is facing a multi-week absence, but they'll likely proceed with caution. Grayson Allen is back in the mix as a high-end fantasy streaming option for as long as Knueppel is out.

Latest news
Knueppel (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Knueppel aggravated his left hamstring strain in his season debut Wednesday against Brooklyn. The Hornets haven't yet indicated whether the sharpshooter is facing a multi-week absence, but they'll likely proceed with caution. Grayson Allen is back in the mix as a high-end fantasy streaming option for as long as Knueppel is out.

Knueppel exited Wednesday's game against the Nets after experiencing soreness in his left leg, and he will not return, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
This is the same leg that delayed Knueppel's season debut, but for now the team is calling it a leg injury rather than specifically citing his hamstring. Still, it's concerning that he seemingly suffered a non-contact injury after just six minutes of play. For now, Knueppel should be considered questionable for Friday's meeting with the Celtics.

Knueppel (leg) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Nets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Knueppel was cleared to make his season debut Wednesday after dealing with a left hamstring strain. However, he limped back to the locker room midway through the opening quarter and can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Knueppel (hamstring) is available for Wednesday against the Nets.
The second-year star forward will shed his probable tag to make his long-awaited season debut. With this being his first game back, the Hornets may ease him back into action. Sion James will almost certainly move to the bench with this news.

Knueppel (hamstring) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Knueppel hasn't played this season, though it appears he will make his 2026-27 campaign debut versus Brooklyn. It may take him a few games to ramp up. However, Knueppel's return, even in a limited capacity, will presumably send Sion James back to the bench.

Knueppel (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game versus the Pistons.
While he is moving in the right direction, Knueppel will remain out for Monday's meeting with Detroit. For now, he should be considered week-to-week. Coby White (calf) is off the injury report, so his return will help lessen the blow, even if he plays limited minutes.
