Charlotte Hornets

  • Kon KnueppelQuestionable· back Oct 21
    Report note

    Knueppel's status for Opening Night remains uncertain as he continues to work his way back from his left hamstring injury. Peterson's comments suggest the Hornets aren't ready to rule out the second-year wing, though his availability will likely become clearer as training camp progresses. He has already been ruled out for the entire preseason, to be clear.

    Cost -2.9 per 100
  • Grant WilliamsQuestionable· back Oct 21
    Report note

    Williams will be re-evaluated the first week of the regular season, putting his status for Opening Night in the air. Williams will have a difficult path to minutes this season as he competes with the likes of Naz Reid, Royce O'Neale and Tidjane Salaun.

    Cost -1.5 per 100
  • PJ HallQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

He's signed to a two-way deal with the Hornets and is slated to return next season.
