Kon Knueppel's return from a hamstring injury is "right around the corner," according to Charlotte Hornets head coach Charles Lee.

Knueppel suffered the injury during an offseason workout and has yet to appear for the Hornets this season.

Knueppel is participating in 5-on-5 drills with increasing contact.

Coby White made his return to the lineup from a calf injury in the team's 124-91 loss to the Pistons on Monday.
