Knueppel (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Knueppel sustained a right ankle sprain in Friday's win over Orlando and was forced to miss Monday's loss to Milwaukee, though he's likely to return Wednesday. The rookie first-rounder's potential return would leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Sion James, Josh Green and Collin Sexton. Over 11 appearances in December, Knueppel has averaged 20.9 points, 4.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game. During that span, he has shot an impressive 45.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Knueppel (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Knueppel will miss Monday's contest due to a right ankle sprain he suffered during Friday's win against Orlando. Recent reports from head coach Charles Lee suggest Knueppel has been progressing well since sustaining the injury, and he is considered day-to-day. His next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Warriors.

Head coach Charles Lee said Sunday that Knueppel has a sprained right ankle and is considered day-to-day, Jeremy Grandison of Fourcast Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knueppel sustained the ankle injury in Friday's win over Orlando and was unable to return. However, he recently underwent further testing and now appears to be trending in the right direction. Lee added that the rookie first-rounder has made "good progress" and has been able to do "a little bit on the court" since suffering the injury. Knueppel can be considered highly questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks. If he's ultimately ruled out, Sion James and Collin Sexton are candidates for increased roles.

Head coach Charles Lee said after Friday's 120-105 win over Orlando that X-rays on Knueppel's right ankle came back negative, and he'll undergo further testing when the team returns to Charlotte, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knueppel injured his right ankle late in the second quarter and was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the contest, finishing with 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes. The rookie first-rounder will be further evaluated ahead of Monday's game against the Bucks in Charlotte, and he can be considered highly questionable for that one until the Hornets provide an update on his status. If the sharpshooter is forced to miss additional time, Sion James and Collin Sexton are candidates for increased roles.
