NBA Courtside: Cooper Flagg on facing former teammate Kon Knueppel: “It’s incredible. Like, I know Kon better than a lot of people. I know what his work ethic is like. I know his drive and how much of a competitor he is. That was probably one of, if not the most fun game of the season for me. He had an incredible game. We were going back and forth. It came down to the wire. Obviously would have loved to win it, but it was still a really fun game.” (Via @ESPNNBA)

Victor Wembanyama had 32 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks in his return from a one-game absence, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 115-102 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Miles Bridges had 22 points and Kon Knueppel added 20 for Charlotte, which had won two straight and eight of 10.

Brandon Miller: “He saved me. (Jerami Grant) got by me, winning play by Kon. That’s all we ask for is just everybody make all the winning plays, and Kon was in the position to make a play. So just having that mindset of being a winner in Kon, I think that’s kinda what separates him from all the other rookies.”
