Charlotte Hornets’ Kon Knueppel, Grant Williams to miss preseason with hamstring injuries

The Charlotte Hornets will enter the preseason without Kon Knueppel and Grant Williams. The team announced that Knueppel suffered a left hamstring injury, while Williams sustained a right hamstring injury during offseason on-court activity.

Both players will miss the preseason and will be re-evaluated during the first week of the regular season. The Hornets did not provide further details regarding the severity of either injury or a specific recovery timeline.

Their availability for the start of the regular season will therefore depend on the results of those evaluations during the opening week of the campaign.
