Dalton Knecht's role with the Los Angeles Lakers has been inconsistent, at best. Having the type of fluctuation that he has within the rotation cannot be easy for a young player. The Lakers have responded in kind to help get their second-year shooter going.
Dan Woike of The Athletic reported that Knecht, alongside Adou Thiero, has been assigned to the South Bay Lakers. That would be the first assignment for the Lakers sophomore of the 2025-26 NBA season.
The Lakers do not play again until Thursday night, when they are on the road to face the Utah Jazz.
