What changed
TS%-5.1 ptsProbably real
Knueppel's TS% is down 5.1 points over his last 25 games of the season (59.7% vs 64.8%). Most of it is shot-making: his TS% was 3.1 points above what his shot spots predict (6.8 points above before). Also shot diet: his above-the-break 3 share of shots went from 45% to 48%. Probably real: about 70% should hold.

Day-To-DayKnueppel'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. Expected back: 2026-10-21.
