Gets two-way deal
Peterson will join the Hornets after spending most of the past two seasons as a two-way player for Boston. The 25-year-old forward appeared in 25 games for the Celtics in 2024-25, averaging 2.2 points and 1.6 rebounds across 7.4 minutes per contest. Peterson is likely to see the bulk of his playing time in the G League in 2025-26, though he should have a clearer path to seeing minutes at the NBA level with the Hornets than he did in Boston.

Notches double-double
Knueppel returned to action Monday after missing Saturday's game with a lingering ankle injury, knocking down three three-pointers and posting a double-double. He impressed as a freshman at Duke last season, averaging 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 47.9 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from beyond the arc over 39 total games. The rookie projects as a plug-and-play contributor for the Hornets this season.
