Plays 17 minutes in win Knecht had four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 17 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Knecht has effectively saw himself get phased out of the Lakers' rotation, as even with LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (back) ruled out for Sunday's game he only played 17 minutes. With a fully healthy squad Knecht will likely not see the court, as prior to Sunday night Knecht logged just a total of five minutes (and two DNPs) in his last four games.

Pops for 15 points from bench Knecht registered 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Knecht's role should continue to expand, given the state of the Lakers' roster. If the persistent trade rumors surrounding Knecht had any truth to them, the organization is likely relieved that they didn't pull the trigger. The team is snake-bit with injures, and support players like Knecht will be essential in keeping the team above water for the next few weeks.

Impact Knecht didn't play at all on Opening Night, but his minutes have been trending up for three straight games due to injuries. He's shooting 37.5 percent from the field overall, but he did have some nice moments in Monday's loss. If the Lakers get some reinforcements back for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Knecht could again be facing an uphill battle for playing time.
