After Kon Knueppel got drafted fourth overall by the Hornets, he revealed exactly what Charlotte fans can expect from him, “They’re gonna see, I love that in the clip they showed me diving on the floor for my clip. So, they’ll see some more of that.” Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the Duke product to showcase his hustle to the NBA World, as he took over the Las Vegas Summer League. Unfortunately, the attribute he spoke so highly of backfired tonight as Kon’s willingness to sacrifice led to a bloody outcome.
As the Hornets faced OKC for a chance to book a spot in the Summer League championship game, Knueppel left everything on the floor to help his team win. However, things turned scary when the small forward dove for a loose ball and hit the deck hard, face first. Clearly hurt, there was blood above Kon’s right eye and he headed straight to locker room to assess the injury.
