Knox is in his sixth NBA season and hasn’t lived up to the potential many believed he had during his rookie season. He has career averages of 7.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game and shoots 39% from the field and 34% from three.
Ultimately, Knox was just used as a matching salary to complete the trade that netted the Jazz an early 2nd-round pick in the upcoming 2024 NBA draft and the rights to Gabriele Procida.
