Head coach JJ Redick told reporters Friday that Knecht will see more minutes Friday against the Grizzlies and for the foreseeable future, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knecht has seen single-digit minutes in six of his last nine NBA games and has spent time in the G League with the South Bay Lakers. However, the second-year wing is poised to be more involved in the Lakers rotation due to the absences of Gabe Vincent (back), Rui Hachimura (calf) and Austin Reaves (calf). Knecht will have a chance to establish a more consistent role for himself starting Friday in the first game of the Lakers' two-game home set against Memphis.

Knecht produced 30 points (10-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes of Tuesday's 127-118 G League win over the San Diego Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

With Knecht falling out of the rotation at the NBA level, he was sent to South Bay to get some live reps, and he made the most of them. More games in the G League could be on the table for Knecht in the future, but he was recalled to the NBA club Wednesday morning.

Los Angeles assigned Knecht to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Knecht has fallen out of the rotation in Los Angeles, so the Lakers will look to get him some live reps in South Bay for the time being.

Knecht accumulated three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in one minute during Wednesday's 132-119 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Knecht continues to be a non-factor for the Lakers, having scored double digits only five times thus far this season. He has played in three of the past four games, averaging 3.7 points in 5.7 minutes per game during that span. At this stage, he would need a miracle to have any chance of going close to putting up fantasy value, outside of very deep formats.

Knecht had four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 17 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Knecht has effectively been phased out of the Lakers' regular rotation. Even with LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (back) ruled out for Sunday's game, Knecht played only 17 minutes. With a fully healthy squad, Knecht will likely not see the court. Prior to Sunday night, Knecht logged just a total of five minutes (and two DNPs) in his last four games.

Knecht logged 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 loss to Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Knecht matched his season-high mark of 16 points as he was able to take advantage of some garbage time in this blowout loss. He's made the most of his limited minutes in November, putting up averages of 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers on 48.6 percent shooting from the field in 17.5 minutes per contest.

Knecht isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knecht started the Lakers' most recent game, but he'll be bumped back to the second unit now that Luka Doncic is healthy. Considering Austin Reaves (groin), LeBron James (sciatica) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) are still out, expect Knecht to see considerable run off the bench.

Knecht will start in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year swingman will get the starting nod with Luka Doncic (finger), Austin Reaves (groin), LeBron James (sciatica) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) sidelined. Knecht has logged double-digit minutes in five consecutive appearances, averaging 8.2 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 43.2 percent from the field in 20.2 minutes per contest during that span.

Knecht registered 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Knecht's role should continue to expand, given the state of the Lakers' roster. If the persistent trade rumors surrounding Knecht had any truth to them, the organization is likely relieved that they didn't pull the trigger. The team is snake-bit with injuries, and support players like Knecht will be essential in keeping the team above water for the next few weeks.

Knecht finished with 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 122-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Knecht didn't play at all on Opening Night, but his minutes have been trending up for three straight games due to injuries. He's shooting 37.5 percent from the field overall, but he did have some nice moments in Monday's loss. If the Lakers get some reinforcements back for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Knecht could again be facing an uphill battle for playing time.
