Dalton Knecht News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Iffy to make Hornets' debut Sunday Knecht (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Knecht was traded by the Lakers to the Hornets on Thursday in exchange for Mark Williams. Knecht didn't take the court against the Spurs on Friday, and he won't be able to play Sunday until the trade is finalized. The rookie first-round pick averaged 9.3 points on 50.8 percent shooting (including 43.9 percent from three on 4.1 3PA/G) and 2.4 rebounds over 17.6 minutes per game across his last 10 outings with the Lakers prior to being traded.

Won't make Hornets debut Friday Knecht (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Knecht was traded by the Lakers to the Hornets along with Cam Reddish (personal), a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 pick-swap in exchange for center Mark Williams. Knecht won't debut for Charlotte on Friday, but he'll likely be available to play against Detroit on Sunday. Prior to the trade, Knecht had averaged 8.3 points and 2.2 rebounds over 16.3 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

Iffy to debut Friday Knecht (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact The rookie first-rounder was recently acquired by the Hornets in a trade that sent Mark Williams to the Lakers, and Knecht is questionable to make his debut with the club Friday. The 23-year-old appeared in 48 regular-season outings (12 starts) before the trade, averaging 9.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers across 20.7 minutes per contest. Knecht will likely be able to step into a more sizable role with Charlotte, as the club is dealing with injuries to several key contributors.

Lakers land center Mark Williams in trade with Hornets for Knecht and Reddish, AP source says

Shipped to Charlotte The Lakers traded Knecht to the Hornets on Wednesday as part of a deal that sent Mark Williams to the Lakers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Knecht, the 17th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, had averaged 9.4 points and 3.1 rebounds across 20.7 points per game for the Lakers. However, with the team's recent acquisition of Luka Doncic, the Lakers had a need for defensive players and frontcourt help, leaving the rookie perimeter player expendable. With Charlotte depleted by injuries, expect Knecht to immediately step into a massive role for the already-rebuilding Hornets.

Dalton Knecht EJECTED after arguing the no foul call 👀

JANUARY 31, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Tossed vs. Washington Knecht was ejected from Thursday's game against the Wizards after being issued two technical fouls, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. He recorded 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3...

Impact Knecht was tossed from the game with a few minutes remaining in the fourth quarter after arguing with an official. His departure had no impact on the result of the matchup, as the Lakers jumped out to a huge lead and were in command well before the final period.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 24 off bench Tuesday Knecht notched 24 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and five rebounds across 23 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The rookie wing put together his best scoring effort since he erupted for 37 points against the Jazz on Nov. 19. Knecht has had an erratic January, scoring six points or less in seven of 13 games, but he may be working his way back into a more consistent role on the Lakers' second unit, as he's played more than 20 minutes in three straight games.

Fails to make impact Knecht registered two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 112-107 victory over Charlotte.

Impact The Lakers were without Rui Hachimura (calf) and Gabe Vincent (knee), but Knecht wasn't able to take advantage of his opportunity. He's had a tough month overall, posting averages of 6.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers on 42.2 percent shooting across 12 January appearances.

Sees just eight minutes Knecht ended Tuesday's 111-88 win over the Wizards with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in eight minutes.

Impact Knecht's fantasy arrow continues to point down with this being his lowest workload since Dec. 21. The Lakers will be getting Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) back on Saturday versus Golden State, making this rotation even harder to crack.
