Free Agency: Kevin Knox signs with the Golden State Warriors!
Former player of the New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, and Portland Trail Blazers signs a 1-year deal with the team that has participated in the 2024 Summer League.
Kevin Knox arrived in the NBA in 2018 with the New York Knicks, who selected him in the ninth position of the Draft. He played there for 3 and a half years, standing out particularly in his first season. With 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.6 steals per game, he achieved the best numbers of his career so far as a rookie. He also played 75 games, starting in 57 of them, something he has never repeated.
From then on, everything went downhill. Constant injuries, a significant drop in performance, and changing teams every year. Knox has been through the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, and Portland Trail Blazers, returning to the Pistons where he played the 2023/24 season. In the last Summer League, the forward played for the Golden State Warriors, the franchise he recently signed with for 1 year, as announced by the reputable journalist Shams Charania on his personal X (Twitter) account:
"Free agent forward Kevin Knox has agreed to a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, sources tell The Athletic. The six-year NBA vet averaged 7.2 points in 18 minutes per game for the Pistons last season, and he will now compete in the Warriors' training camp."
Warriors' NBA Market
The Warriors have already acquired Lindy Waters III, Reece Beekman, Kyle Anderson, Buddy Hield, De'Anthony Melton, and Daeqwon Plowden in this 2024 NBA market. They also have Quinten Post on their roster, selected as the 52nd pick in the Draft. They have been very active due to numerous departures, including key players like Chris Paul and especially Klay Thompson, but also losing Dario Saric and Usman Garuba. With Knox, they aim to find outside shooting and maximum defense at the shooting guard or small forward position once held by the franchise's legendary number 11.
