Knipel talks about inviting the whole team to a family dinner: This is particularly meaningful. Plumlee said that he has never done this before.

In the NBA Cup on November 15, the Hornets lost to the Bucks 134-147 in overtime. After the game, Knipel was interviewed.

Talking about the team's family dinner, Knipel said: "This dinner is particularly meaningful. Plumlee is a veteran in our team. He is 35 years old and has a career of 13 to 14 years. He said, 'I have never done this before, never been to a teammate's house as a guest. ’, it’s really interesting to hear him say that. For us, this 90-minute reunion is particularly special.”

In this game, Knipel, the Hornets’ No. 4 pick this year, played very well against his hometown team. Not only was he still stable on the outside, but he also delivered many wonderful dunks.

He played 41 minutes, made 12 of 20 (4 of 9 three-pointers), 4 of 5 free throws and scored a career-high 32 points (previously the highest 30 points), plus 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
