Chips in 14 points vs. San Antonio Knecht logged 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and three rebounds over 26 minutes in Friday's 120-115 win over the Spurs.

Impact Knecht made his second start of his NBA career Friday off the heels of a 19-point performance against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. The rookie first-round pick had just three points in his first start Nov. 6 against Memphis, but he had a more efficient outing this time around. Knecht could make his third-career start Saturday against the Pelicans if Rui Hachimura continues to be sidelined due to a sprained right ankle.

Moves back to bench Knecht is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the 76ers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Knecht made a spot start in the loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday, posting three points, four rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes. He'll return to his regular role off the bench due to the return of Rui Hachimura (illness).

Left off injury report Knecht (jaw) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Knecht left Wednesday's clash with the Grizzlies after taking a shot to the mouth, but the issue isn't serious enough to keep him from Friday's game. He should be available to play a full complement of minutes and is averaging 17.1 minutes through the first eight appearances of his young NBA career.

Gets hurt late in loss Knecht (jaw) left Wednesday's 131-114 loss to the Lakers in the fourth quarter and didn't return. He supplied three points (1-7 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one ste...

Impact Knecht took an elbow from Jake LaRavia to the jaw and was removed from the contest. The severity of the injury is unclear but there was only a few minutes left in the game and the Lakers trailed by double-digits, so it's possible the Lakers were just being cautious. Regardless, Knecht's next chance to play will come Friday against Philadelphia.

Heads to locker room Knecht went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies with what appears to be a jaw injury, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Knecht caught an elbow to the face from Jake LaRavia late in the fourth quarter and exited the game to go back to the locker room. Considering the Lakers are down double-digits with three minutes to play, it's unlikely Knecht will return.

Joins starting lineup Knecht moves into the starting lineup Wednesday versus Memphis while Rui Hachimura (illness) is unavailable, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Knecht enters the first start of his NBA career having exceeded 15 minutes of action on four occasions thus far, but his playing time has fluctuated overall. Knecht is a candidate to receive a steady diet of spot-up looks for a Lakers lineup in need of shooting.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drops career high in loss Knecht put up 18 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 134-110 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Knecht's 18 points mark a career high in his very young career, and he was one of the very few bright spots in Wednesday's loss. If the rookie continues to elevate his play, he could carve out a larger role for himself as the season progresses.

Out Friday Knecht will not play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Warriors due to a knee issue, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Knecht apparently bumped his knee in Thursday's big win over the Spurs. Given it is the second night of an exhibition back-to-back, it is not surprising to see Los Angeles err on the side of caution with its promising rookie. He accumulated 35 points (10-18 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, an assist, two steals and two blocks across 32 minutes off the bench in the contest. He projects to be one of the first players off the bench for Los Angeles as a depth forward option this season.
