What happened: Charlotte Hornets forward Kon Knueppel will make his season debut Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Charlotte confirmed Knueppel is available after previously listing him on the injury report with a left hamstring strain.

Why it matters: Knueppel's return provides perimeter depth to a Charlotte rotation managing multiple absences. His availability restores another offensive contributor to the Hornets' lineup as regular-season play continues.

What to watch: Charlotte visits Brooklyn on Wednesday, with tipoff scheduled for 7:30 PM ET.
