13 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Rookie guard Kon Knueppel scored a career-high 33 points.
- Knueppel added nine assists and five rebounds in the game.
- The Hornets have a 7-17 record this season.
Rookie guard Kon Knueppel delivered a career-best performance for the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, scoring 33 points against the Chicago Bulls. This impressive offensive display also included nine assists and five rebounds, further solidifying his growing reputation. Despite the career-high, the Hornets ultimately fell short, losing 129-126.
The young guard has been a bright spot for the struggling Hornets, who currently hold a 7-17 record and are twelfth in the Eastern Conference. Knueppel has stepped up significantly in the continued absence of star player LaMelo Ball, consistently performing well alongside Miles Bridges.
Knueppel's strong start to the season, which earned him Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honors for October and November, positions him as a leading contender for Rookie of the Year. While the team looks to rebound, his individual performance continues to be a major positive.
