The basketball community is preparing itself for the NBA All-Star Weekend to roll out in San Francisco. However, the franchises, precisely the Golden State Warriors, might be waiting for the All-Stars break. They will return to action on Feb 21 after refueling for the final lap of the fierce regular season, but the vacant space in their roster will still need to be filled. Despite Jimmy Butler’s entry, something seems to be missing. Thankfully, the Dubs front office has a plan.
It seems like Mike Dunleavy Jr. is brewing something up. Again! Surely, signing Jimmy to pair him up with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green wasn’t enough. How could it be? For a once-unbeatable dynasty, losing more games than winning is a nightmare. Meanwhile, the Warriors insider, Anthony Slater of The Athletic, dropped major news:
Taking to his X handle, Slater tweeted: “The Warriors intend to sign Kevin Knox into one of their vacant roster spots out of the All-Star break, per sources. Ten-day contract. Knox is averaging 19.1 points, and 7.3 rebounds in Santa Cruz. Organization has been high on him back to summer league. An extra big scoring wing.”

In 2018, Kevin Knox was the ninth overall draft pick and played for the New York Knicks until 2022. Then he moved from one team to another, Hawks, Pistons, Trail Blazer, and back to the Hawks. Then, he had to move to the NBA G League. Knox is currently playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors, the Golden State Warriors affiliated G League team.
And now, it looks like the 25-year-old small forward is ready to make his comeback in the main league all over again. However, he has some regrets and Kevin Knox seems to be blaming himself for his sudden Icarus-like condition in basketball.
