Who are Kon Knueppel's brothers? Know more about Duke star's family

Kon Knueppel is having a solid season with the Duke Blue Devils, but he is not the only Knueppel with basketball talents, as there are four others ready to hit the waves in the next few years.

Kon comes from a family that shares basketball in their DNA. His father, also named Kon, was the all-time leading scorer at Wisconsin Lutheran College until 2019. His mother, Chari Knueppel, formerly Chari Nordgaard, is Wisconsin-Green Bay’s leading scorer, and it does not end there.

Knueppel's uncle from his maternal side, Jeff Nordgaard, also represented Wisconsin-Green Bay and made it pro, reaching the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks, before playing across Europe.

Along with his uncles Klint, Klay, and Kole, his father played in the Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament. They named their team the “Flying Knueppel Brothers”.

This tradition has been passed down to Kon’s generation, as he is the first of five brothers who are all keen to make their mark in the hoop business.
