Top Kon Knueppel News

  • Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Another strong line

    Knueppel registered 18 points (5-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 victory over the Hawks.

    The Hornets are one of the hottest teams in the league, winning 10 of their last 11 games. Knueppel has been a key reason for that, posting averages of 18.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.5 three-pointers on 48.5 percent shooting in that span.

  • Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Buries five threes

    Knueppel racked up 20 points (6-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to Detroit.

    Knueppel's shooting touch was on full display Monday, as the rookie knocked down a game-high five three-pointers, matching Detroit's entire team total from beyond the arc. He's now reached the 20-point mark in three straight contests and has hit five-plus threes in 15 games this season. Selected No. 4 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, Knueppel has handled the expectations well and continues to back up the hype with high-level production.

  • Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Paces Hornets in scoring

    Knueppel provided 24 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 109-99 win over Houston.

    Knueppel's stellar rookie campaign continues as he led Charlotte with a highly efficient 24 points. The sharpshooting wing is hovering around 50-40-90 for the season. This year, Knueppel is shooting 48.5 percent from the field, 42.4 percent from three and 89.7 percent from the free-throw line.

  • Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Sets new career-high scoring mark

    Knueppel totaled 34 points (10-16 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 win over the Mavericks.

    Cooper Flagg remains the best rookie in this year's class, but Knueppel has been better than advertised and has emerged as a key player for the Hornets already.

Knueppel is averaging 18.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.8 three-pointers made per game since the beginning of January while making 42.3 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc over that stretch.

Knueppel continues to fill up the bucket from long range, draining multiple three-pointers in 18 of his last 19 games and averaging 20.4 points, 4.9 boards, 4.2 assists and 3.5 threes over that stretch while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor and 46.9 percent from beyond the arc.
