Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel took a step toward returning from injury on Thursday when he was assigned to practice with the team's G League affiliate. The move indicates Knueppel is progressing in his recovery, though he remains listed as out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards.
The Hornets have not announced a target date for Knueppel's season debut. His participation in G League practice suggests the organization is integrating him into game-like conditions before clearing him for NBA action.
