The Hornets say rookie sensation Kon Knueppel suffered a right ankle sprain and will not return tonight against Orlando.

Fantasy Impact:
Kon was on an absolute heater before leaving the game, hitting 16 points in just 15 minutes along with three rebounds and an assist. He’s likely going to miss a couple of games, but should be fine for the long term. However, the exact severity of the injury is not known at the time of writing.
