Impact Knight led the second unit in scoring in his second game with Motor City, posting an efficient 20 points. Knight could prove to be a key piece for the Cruise going forward, as to this point he is averaging 15.5 points in 20.5 minutes per game since joining the team.

Scores 11 in Motor City debut Knight posted 11 points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two blocks, one rebounds, one assists and a steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 104-102 win over the Windy City Bulls.

Impact Knight was acquired from the Maine Celtics in exchange for a 2024 first-round pick on Sunday and was able to play for the Cruise the same day. In his debut with the Crusie, Knight led the second unit in scoring. The 26-year-old pro has averaged 9.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 23.0 minutes per game this season.

Let go by Boston Boston waived Knight on Tuesday.

Impact Knight was operating under a two-way deal but hadn't made any appearances at the NBA level yet. The Celtics may bring him back on a G League deal, but for now, he'll be a free agent while Boston looks to add a new two-way player.

Signs with Boston Knight agreed to a two-way contract with Boston on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Knight was recently cut loose by the Knicks, but he quickly caught on with Boston as one of their three two-way players heading into the regular season. The 26-year-old, who spent the previous two seasons in Minnesota, profiles as a different archetype than Boston's other backup bigs, as Knight is more mobile at 6-foot-8 while possessing some floor-spacing abilities. The 26-year-old averaged 3.7 points and 1.5 rebounds while shooting 56.8 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from deep across 37 appearances for the Timberwolves in 2022-23.

Waived by New York Knight was waived by the Knicks on Thursday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Knight joined the Knicks on a two-way deal in mid-July but was unable to secure a spot on the team's final roster. He'll now seek out other opportunities ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, and it's possible he has to settle for a G League role.

Former Nottingham High star Nathan Knight will sign two-way deal with New York Knicks (report) Knight will reportedly sign a two-way contract with the Knicks.

JULY 20, 2023 • SYRACUSE.COM

Settling into second-unit role Knight played 19 minutes and produced nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three assists, one rebound and one block across 19 minutes in Tuesday's 146-112 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The Timberwolves were on both sides of a blowout in home-and-home matchups with Denver on Sunday and Tuesday, allowing Knight to garner some extra playing time off the bench. In the game before the two-game set with Denver, Knight received 11 minutes in a seven-point loss to the Magic on Feb. 3, so he at least appears to be gaining some traction in head coach Chris Finch's rotation. Knight may continue to see some more time as a backup power forward and center until the Timberwolves have both Austin Rivers (back) and Kyle Anderson (back) available again.

Drops season-high 19 points Knight contributed 19 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and three steals across 25 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 win over the Rockets.

Impact Knight was electric in the second half, scoring 17 of his season-high 19 points in the second stanza. With Rudy Gobert (calf) missing his third game in a row, Knight has claimed a spot in head coach Chris Finch's rotation in each of those contests, but Knight played just four and nine minutes in his prior two outings. However, with fill-in starting center Naz Reid struggling with foul trouble early and playing just 15 minutes, Finch rode Knight heavily for most of the final two quarters. Knight's performance likely won't be enough for him to leapfrog Reid on the depth chart, but it could lead to a more equitable split of the center minutes between the two moving forward should Gobert miss additional games.

Edwards scores 44; Wolves hand Rockets 13th straight loss

Nudges double-double Monday Knight contributed eight points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 124-111 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Knight slid up in the rotation Monday after Naz Reid was ruled out with back spasms. He came through with what was a decent performance, including a season-high eight rebounds. If Reid is forced to miss additional time, Knight could be worth a look in deeper formats for anyone in need of a cheap center.

Timberwolves notes: Nathan Knight is the next man up among the bigs The little-used forward/center had 16 points in 26 minutes in Sunday's victory over Chicago.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Steps up with 16 points Sunday Knight logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 150-126 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Knight made the most of a good situation, putting together easily his best game of the season. Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) and Rudy Gobert (ankle) remain out and Naz Reid (shoulder) lasted only 12 minutes before exiting. Knight is basically the only center option the Timberwolves have left, meaning he is certainly worth grabbing should Reid and Gobert be forced to miss further time.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes rare appearance Monday Knight closed with four points (2-2 FG) in four minutes during Monday's 133-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Knight saw action for the first time this month and the 10th time all season. The fact he scored a season-high four points says everything you need to know about his fantasy appeal or lack thereof. It's always lovely to see fringe players getting some additional run, but from a fantasy perspective, there is obviously nothing to see here.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 points in win Knight posted 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 10 minutes in Thursday's 114-99 preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Knight made the most of his 10 minutes of court time. The preseason will offer a bit more freedom for the frontcourt with Karl-Anthony Towns sitting frequently, and Knight is one player who is taking advantage. After working as a two-way player last year, Knight is expected to be a mainstay on the roster for 2022-23.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 14 points, seven rebounds Knight scored 14 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-9 FT) with seven rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes against Miami on Tuesday.

Impact Knight did not record a field goal in the first half, with his only points coming on 3-of-4 shooting from the free-throw line. However, the forward did grab four of his team-high seven rebounds in the first quarter, three of which came on the offensive end. Knight would finish the game by going 4-of-5 from the field with 10 points in the second half.

Signs standard NBA contract Knight signed a standard NBA contract with the Timberwolves on Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Knight played on a two-way contract with Minnesota last season and made 37 appearances at the NBA level, posting 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds across 7.2 minutes per game. The third-year pro may see an increased role during the 2022-23 campaign, though Naz Reid figures to be the primary backup to recently acquired Rudy Gobert.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nears double-double in depth role Knight closed with 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 16 minutes during Sunday's 124-120 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Knight hadn't appeared in any of the last five games, but he saw increased work in the regular-season finale since the Timberwolves leaned on their bench players ahead of the play-in tournament. The 24-year-old is unlikely to be part of the team's rotation during the play-in tournament.

Transferred to NBA club Knight was transferred to the Timberwolves on Friday.

Impact Knight finished Iowa's 107-103 win over the Oklahoma City Blue with a game-high 33 points and 12 rebounds. He hasn't played double-digit minutes at the NBA level since Jan. 3, so it's unlikely he garners a big enough role to be fantasy relevant during his stint with Minnesota.
