Injury report
Charlotte Hornets
- Kon KnueppelOut· back Dec 12Report updated ·
Report note
Injury/Illness - Left Hamstring Strain (2026-11-15, CHA@LAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-08): Knueppel (hamstring) was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain Sunday and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Knueppel missed the first eight games of the 2026-27 campaign. He returned for the 114-104 loss to Brooklyn on Wednesday, though he exited the contest after just six minutes of work and didn't return. With Knueppel out of commission for at least a month, Grayson Allen and Sion James are candidates to replace him in the starting lineup, especially with Dennis Schroder (hamstring) sidelined for a minimum of two weeks.

Report note
Injury/Illness - Left Hamstring Strain (2026-11-15, CHA@LAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-08): Schroder has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in two weeks, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports. Schroder, who missed Friday's game due to what was described as a left thigh injury, has been diagnosed with a hamstring strain. He is set to be reevaluated in two weeks, suggesting he will miss at least the next five games. Christian Anderson and Sion James could see extra minutes with Schroder sidelined.

San Antonio Spurs
- Tobias HarrisOut· back Nov 19Report updated ·
Report note
Injury/Illness - Left Calf Strain (2026-11-15, SAS@UTA). Prior reporting (2026-11-10): Harris (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against Chicago, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports. With Harris still sidelined, San Antonio will rely more on Julian Champagnie. Harris has yet to make his Spurs debut this season, so his absence continues to leave minutes available on the wing until he is cleared to return.
- Jayden QuaintanceOut· back Dec 3
Report note
Injury/Illness - Right Knee Surgery (2026-11-15, SAS@UTA). Prior reporting (2026-10-05): Quaintance has been around the team but has not yet been cleared for basketball activities, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports. The Spurs are expected to exercise extreme caution with the big man, as Quaintance suffered a torn ACL and meniscus with Arizona State in February 2025 before appearing in only four games with Kentucky last season due to severe complications and persistent swelling. The 19-year-old underwent a cleanup procedure on his meniscus in mid-July, and the Spurs will likely want him at 100 percent before ramping him up to basketball activities.
