Hornets wing Kon Knueppel has been named the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for February, the NBA announced, marking his fourth straight win of the award this season.
He has now claimed the honor in October/November, December, January and February, with no other Eastern rookie earning it in 2025/26.
Knueppel continued to strengthen his Rookie of the Year case while helping Charlotte go 8-3 in February.
In 11 games, he averaged 21.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 31.5 minutes per night while shooting 50.3% from the field.
He was especially effective from three-point range, making 49-of-101 attempts (48.5%) and averaging 4.5 threes per game.
Knueppel had shared Rookie of the Month honors with former Duke teammate Cooper Flagg for the previous three months, but with Flagg sidelined much of February due to a foot injury, Spurs guard Dylan Harper earned the Western Conference award.
Harper helped San Antonio go 10-0 in February games he played, averaging 12.5 points, 4.9 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 25.1 minutes while shooting 55.4%.
The Spurs posted a +21.0 net rating during his 252 minutes on the floor.
