Hornets’ Knueppel, Schroder Out Multiple Weeks With Hamstring Strains

Charlotte Hornets players Kon Knueppel and Dennis Schroder are expected to miss multiple weeks after both suffered left hamstring strains. The team confirmed that Knueppel will be sidelined for at least four weeks before re-evaluation, while Schroder will miss a minimum of two weeks. Knueppel had re-aggravated the injury on November 4 against the Brooklyn Nets after missing the opening eight games of the season.

Adding to Charlotte's offensive struggles, Brandon Miller will also miss the upcoming game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a right hip strain. The injury-hit Hornets currently rank last in the NBA in offensive rating, holding the league's second-worst net rating at -14.2.
