Oh so close. The Los Angeles Lakers emptied their bench tonight against the Denver Nuggets. Aside from their injuries, even Luka Doncic was out for the back-to-back. Yet, the depleted roster nearly did something unthinkable. For a moment, they had the Nuggets beat. And one of the stars of the show was Dalton Knecht.
The nearly traded rookie took flight to extend the Lakers rare lead in the fourth quarter. However, as he did, Knecht slipped off the rim, landing awkwardly on his head. Immediately, the Laker announcers expressed concerns regarding the fall. “Oh, that’s a nasty fall. Hopefully he’s okay,” they said.
For those moments even the Nuggets fans at the Ball Arena held their breaths in prayer. JJ Redick rushed to check whether the Lakers’ first-round pick was okay. Luckily, after taking his time on the floor and some medical attention, Dalton Knecht was back on his feet and ready to play.
