Dalton Knecht News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Efficient in reserve role Knecht ended Wednesday's 135-105 win over the Bulls with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes.

Impact Knecht provided a spark off the bench, knocking down two triples while collecting seven rebounds in limited action. The second-year wing made efficient use of his opportunities, but his 16-minute workload highlights the challenges of carving out consistent production in New York's crowded rotation. He remains a situational fantasy option unless his role expands.

To sign with Knicks Knecht has agreed to a two-way contract with the Knicks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Knecht lands in New York after being waived by the Lakers ahead of the regular season. The 25-year-old averaged 4.2 points and 1.4 rebounds across 10.2 minutes per game during the 2025-26 regular season, but the move gives him an opportunity to rebuild his value. He'll likely spend time developing in the G League and faces an uphill battle for consistent NBA minutes, limiting his immediate fantasy appeal.

Logs 11 points in defeat Knecht registered 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), a rebound and an assist across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason loss to the Lakers.

Impact It's becoming increasingly apparent that Knecht's days with the Lakers could be numbered, as almost all of the team's offseason acquisitions seem designed without him in mind. Unless the team radically changes its rotation plans, Knecht will be buried even deeper on the depth chart this season, rendering him a non-option in all fantasy formats.
