Charlotte Hornets coach Charles Lee offered a crucial update on Kon Knueppel after their win over the Orlando Magic. Per Lee, the X-rays taken of Knueppel's right ankle turned out negative. Fans can't celebrate just yet, though, because we have yet to know the severity of the sprain.
The fact, though, that Knueppel didn't break his ankle is worth thanking the basketball gods for. However, sprained ankles are complicated in nature. As Matt Alquiza of Sports Illustrated pointed out, Ryan Kalkbrenner was able to shake off a similar injury earlier this season.
