Warriors Sign Kevin Knox to One-Year Deal

The Golden State Warriors have signed 25-year-old Kevin Knox to a one-year contract, giving him a chance to compete for a roster spot during the upcoming training camp. Knox, a former ninth overall pick by the New York Knicks in the 2018 NBA Draft, has played for several teams including the Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, and Portland Trail Blazers. He averaged 7.2 points and 2.4 rebounds last season with the Pistons and showed promise during the summer league with the Warriors. Although he had a strong rookie season, Knox has struggled to find consistency and significant playing time in the NBA. The Warriors, who have 14 players on their 15-man roster, expect Knox to bring energy and two-way play to the team. However, some fans are disappointed, as they had hoped the team would acquire Lauri Markkanen instead.
