Knox signed a training camp contract with the Trail Blazers on Monday, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knox appeared in 63 matchups between the Pistons and Trail Blazers last year and averaged 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game. After the team declined his team option in late June, he'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot during training camp this year.

The Trail Blazers declined Knox's $3 million team option Thursday, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Portland won't have the ability to match any offer Knox receives once free agency begins. The No. 9 pick in the 2018 NBA has had a tough start to his career, landing on four different teams in five seasons. In 2022-23, he averaged 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15.1 minutes across 63 games for the Pistons and Trail Blazers.

Knox (quadriceps) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Knox was listed as probable earlier Sunday, so his availability is unsurprising. Knox has taken advantage of playing more minutes down the stretch, averaging 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Knox is probable to play Sunday against the Warriors due to a right quad contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Knox is dealing with a bruised quad, but it doesn't sound like it'll be keeping him off the floor for Sunday's regular-season finale. He should start and see plenty of minutes for a Portland team that will likely have only eight guys available, and he's coming off a 30-point, 11-rebound performance, so he's an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Knox registered 30 points (10-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 136-125 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Knox is one of the many Blazers players that has thrived with a more significant role, and when he was granted a start after a 24-point outing off the bench against the Spurs on Thursday, he didn't disappoint. Knox has scored 19 or more points in three of his last four appearances and is expected to have a sizable role in the season finale against the Warriors on Sunday.

Knox will start Saturday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knox has started only two of the past six games but has still crossed the 24-minute threshold in all of them. During this run, he's averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes.

Knox logged 24 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Thursday's 129-127 loss to San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Knox moved back to the bench after starting Portland's previous contest, but despite the demotion, he popped for a team- and season-high 24 points on efficient shooting. With Portland essentially shutting down its regulars, Knox has seen an increased role over the Trail Blazers' past nine games, averaging 12.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25.8 minutes with 42/26/66 shooting splits during that stretch.

Knox will not start Thursday at San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Knox has been rotated in and out of the first unit over the last handful of games as the Trail Blazers continue to pack it in for the rest of the season. In his last two appearances with the reserves, Knox averaged 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals across 28.0 minutes.

Knox (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Knox has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a ninth straight game. With Shaedon Sharpe (knee) already ruled out and Cam Reddish (back) and Trendon Watford (ankle) questionable, Knox should see a sizable role versus San Antonio.

Knox is probable for Thursday's game versus the Spurs with left knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Knox is likely to suit up Thursday after starting in the previous game. With Cam Reddish (back), Shaedon Sharpe (knee), and Trendon Watford (ankle) all questionable and Matisse Thybulle (knee) doubtful, Knox could be in store for more extended minutes.
