Breaking News: Kevin Knox Signs 1-Year Contract with Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have made a surprising move by signing forward Kevin Knox to a 1-year contract, adding depth to their roster for the upcoming NBA season. The deal, announced earlier today, signals the Warriors’ continued effort to bolster their bench as they aim for another championship run.
Knox, the 9th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, has had a rollercoaster career since entering the league with the New York Knicks. After stints with the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, and Portland Trail Blazers, the 24-year-old is hoping to revitalize his career in Golden State. Known for his athleticism and versatility, Knox brings potential as a shooter and defender, though he has struggled to find consistency in recent seasons.
The Warriors, coming off a mixed 2023-24 season, are looking to return to title contention with their core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. Knox is expected to provide support off the bench, adding size and shooting to their frontcourt rotation. Head coach Steve Kerr expressed optimism about the signing, saying, “Kevin is a talented player with a lot of upside, and we believe this environment can help him reach his full potential.”
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but sources suggest it is a veteran minimum contract, offering Knox a chance to prove himself in the Warriors’ championship-caliber system.
With training camp just around the corner, Knox will have an opportunity to compete for minutes and solidify his place in the Warriors’ rotation. Fans and analysts are eager to see if the change of scenery will help the former lottery pick realize his potential as Golden State eyes another deep playoff run.
