Hornets look to improve offense with Knueppel's imminent return
Summary

The Charlotte Hornets' offense, currently ranked 30th in the NBA, hopes to improve with the upcoming return of Kon Knueppel. Coach Charles Lee indicated that Knueppel is nearing his season debut, although a specific date remains unspecified. Coby White has already returned, and together with Knueppel and Brandon Miller, they previously showcased a strong offensive potential. Historical data suggests that this trio can significantly boost the team's scoring, with a remarkable offensive rating noted when they played together. Knueppel had been sidelined with a hamstring strain but is expected to enhance the team's shooting capabilities, which are needed to revitalize the struggling offense.
