Joins Golden State for camp Knox and the Warriors agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Knox will join the Warriors for training camp, though he isn't guaranteed a final roster spot. In 306 career NBA games, Knox holds averages of 7.4 points and 2.9 rebounds while shooting 39.2 percent from the field.

Shooting woes in Summer League win Knox produced seven points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes in Sunday's 92-68 win over the Lakers in the California Classic S...
Impact Knox was previously thought to be out for the Summer League due to a strained calf. However, he returned for the Warriors' second game of the California Classic and was inefficient from the field off the bench. The 24-year-old averaged 7.2 points and 2.4 rebounds across 18.1 minutes in 31 games with Detroit, before getting traded to, and cut by the Jazz.

Suffers strained calf Knox suffered a strained calf and will not play for the Warriors during the summer league, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact There aren't many details regarding the severity, but this is an unfortunate blow for Knox. The forward will remain a free agent and will have to look elsewhere for an opportunity.

Latches on with GSW Knox is part of the Warriors' Summer League roster.
Impact Knox started the 2023-24 campaign with Detroit but was traded to the Jazz in February and released shortly after, ending up with the Rip City Remix of the G League. The former lottery pick will get a chance to prove he's worthy of a roster spot with Golden State this Summer.
JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE
Waived by Utah Knox was waived by the Jazz on Friday.
Impact Knox was traded from the Pistons to the Jazz on Thursday, but he'll be let go by his new club a day later. He averaged 7.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 18.1 minutes per game over 31 appearances with Detroit to begin the year, and it's unclear whether he'll land another contract to close out the regular season.
FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Traded to Jazz Knox was traded to the Jazz on Wednesday, James Edwards of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Pistons attached Knox to a 2024 second-round pick in exchange for Simone Fontecchio. Knox had a little bit of success in Detroit with averages of 7.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers, but he failed to score in his last two outings. In Utah, Knox figures to fight for minutes at the end of the rotation behind Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Enters starting lineup Knox is starting Friday against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Knox came off the bench in his last four appearances, but he'll rejoin the starting lineup Friday due to Mike Muscala (concussion) and Isaiah Stewart (ankle) being out. Over nine starts this year, Knox has averaged 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game.
FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Moves back to bench Knox isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Isaiah Stewart will replace Knox in the starting lineup Wednesday. Knox is averaging 11.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.6 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.
JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Saturday Knox is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Washington, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Impact Knox joins the first unit with Isaiah Stewart sidelined due to an ankle injury. Detroit opts for an offense-centric lineup, as he's flanked by Bojan Bogdanovic and Marvin Bagley in the frontcourt.
JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE
Back to bench Knox won't start Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Knox drew back-to-back starts with Bojan Bogdanovic sidelined, but the latter has been cleared to suit up, sending the former to the bench again. Over his last 12 appearances (five starts), Knox has averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 23.0 minutes per game.
JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE
Leads team with 19 points Knox racked up 19 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 112-110 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Moving back into the starting lineup with Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) sidelined, Knox tied Alec Burks for the team lead in scoring. The 2018 lottery pick is on his fourth team in six seasons, but Knox is filling a hole in the Pistons' rotation well enough at the moment, averaging 11.3 points, 2.6 boards and 1.5 threes in 22.1 minutes a night over the last 11 games.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Moves into starting lineup Knox will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against Houston, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
Impact Knox will be replacing Isaiah Livers in the first unit. Knox gave the Pistons a spark off the bench against the Spurs on Wednesday, scoring 12 points with four rebounds and a pair of three-pointers in 24 minutes.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Outstanding from bench Knox accumulated 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 113-109 loss to Golden State.
Impact Detroit's rash of injuries has revived Knox's career a bit, although his stat lines are far from dependable. Detroit is Knox's sixth team in six years, and despite the state of Detroit's roster, he'll continue to be used in the second and third unit. Knox will have other opportunities to produce in the short term, but his fantasy value is extremely limited.
JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Rejoins reserves Knox will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Utah.
Impact Knox started three straight games for Detroit and averaged 11.3 points and 2.3 rebounds across 24.1 minutes. However, he'll be replaced by Isaiah Livers for Wednesday's tilt.
JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against Boston Knox will start Thursday's game against Boston.
Impact Isaiah Stewart is sitting out with a toe issue, but he's believed to be day-to-day. Knox already has two starts to his name this season, but he struggled in those with 8.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 33.3 percent shooting from the field.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gets buckets Knox chipped in 14 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 24 minutes during Saturday's 126-115 loss to the Nets.
Impact Knox stepped in and knocked down coming off two consecutive DNP-CDs. The 24-year-old can't be relied on as anything more than a sporadic scoring sparkplug, but perhaps his workload will grow moving forward with Detroit reeling.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back to bench Knox won't start Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact After a couple of standout games, Knox was rewarded with back-to-back starts. However, he failed to impress, and the Pistons' small-ball lineup didn't work out. Marvin Bagley is back with the first unit, but as long as Jalen Duren (ankle) is sidelined, Knox should carve out a sizable rotational role. Over his first two appearances of the season, Knox has averaged 11.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.5 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Double-double in Friday's start Knox supplied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 108-100 loss to Cleveland.
Impact With Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined for a third straight game, Knox slid into the starting five for the Pistons and produced his first double-double in three games since rejoining the club last week. The 24-year-old forward has never lived up to his draft pedigree after being a lottery pick in 2018, but Knox is seeing big minutes right now in an injury-wracked Detroit frontcourt and has some short-term fantasy value.
NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Friday Knox will enter the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, James Edwards of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jalen Duren (ankle) is sitting out again Friday, but Marvin Bagley will go back to the second unit this time around. Knox has played well in his two appearances for the Pistons, averaging 15.0 points on 75.0 percent shooting from the field.
NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Practicing with starters Knox was practicing with the starters during the team's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's matchup versus the Cavaliers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Marvin Bagley (illness) is questionable for the contest but was participating in the shootaround, though he was operating with the backups. With the Pistons in the midst of a nine-game losing streak, it's possible coach Monty Williams will make a change to the starting lineup even if Bagley is cleared to suit up. If Knox is starting, Isaiah Stewart would presumably slide over to center in Bagley's stead.
NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Leading scorer in Pistons debut Knox recorded 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt) and three rebounds across 24 minutes in Sunday's 119-108 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Knox joined the Pistons on a one-year deal Wednesday after being cut by the Tral Blazers on Oct. 21. He made an immediate impact Sunday as the leading scorer on the team coming off the bench. Knox's role on the Pistons could grow if he continues to contribute positively off the bench and he'll get his next opportunity Tuesday against the Hawks.
NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Signs with Pistons Knox has agreed to a one-year deal with the Pistons, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Pistons are dealing with a slew of key injuries, so Knox may have a shot at some end-of-rotation minutes. He will be familiar with the Pistons as well after playing 42 games for them during the 2022-23 season. During those games, Knox averaged 5.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 14.1 minutes.
NOVEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Let go by Portland The Trail Blazers will waive Knox on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Knox was in contention for a spot on the Trail Blazers' opening night roster but ultimately lost out to Ish Wainright, whom Portland claimed off waivers Saturday. The Trail Blazers will retain Knox's G League rights if he clears waivers, but it's uncertain if the 24-year-old will report to the Rip City Remix or if he'll instead pursue work overseas.
OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Signs with Portland Knox signed a training camp contract with the Trail Blazers on Monday, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Knox appeared in 63 matchups between the Pistons and Trail Blazers last year and averaged 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game. After the team declined his team option in late June, he'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot during training camp this year.
