黄蜂队揭幕战三人缺阵：克努佩尔、威廉姆斯和怀特恢复 个人训练但赶不上对篮网首战
位于北卡罗来纳州梅克伦堡县的 Charlotte 市，夏洛特黄蜂队10月20日更新伤病情况：后卫科比·怀特、锋线新星康·克努佩尔和老将格兰特·威廉姆斯三人均已恢复个人场上训练，但都未完成康复，将缺席周三主场对布鲁克林篮网队的赛季揭幕战。怀特受小腿拉伤困扰，克努佩尔和威廉姆斯均为腿筋拉伤。
主教练查尔斯·李此前表示，克努佩尔和怀特的回归暂无明确时间表。克努佩尔上赛季场均18.5分，三分投射是黄蜂进攻的重要拉开空间手段；怀特则承担持球组织任务，两人同时缺阵，加上拉梅洛·鲍尔今夏已被交易，黄蜂揭幕战将更多依赖布兰登·米勒和格雷森·艾伦，丹尼斯·施罗德和小克里斯蒂安·安德森预计获得更多出场时间。
黄蜂在季前赛曾以90比124大比分负于篮网，揭幕战阵容不整令主场首秀更添难度。
Hornets Open Season Without Knueppel, White and Williams at Brooklyn
In Charlotte, a city in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, the Charlotte Hornets will open the season on Wednesday, October 21, at the Brooklyn Nets without three players: Kon Knueppel (hamstring), Coby White (calf) and Grant Williams (hamstring). Head coach Charles Lee said all three are progressing well but gave no timetable; returns are possible as early as Friday against Atlanta or Saturday against Miami.
Knueppel averaged 18.5 points and 5.3 rebounds as a rookie, shot 42.5 percent from three and made 273 three-pointers, a rookie record. The trio has resumed individual work but has not been cleared for game action.
