Knox and the Pistons agreed to terms Thursday on a two-year, $6 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knox became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after the Hawks chose not to extend a qualifying offer to the forward before the league deadline. He'll now provide additional depth in Detroit's frontcourt for 2022-23 after agreeing to a two-year deal with the team Thursday. In 30 appearances last season, Knox averaged 3.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in just 7.4 minutes per contest with the Knicks and the Hawks, so he'll look to carve out a more prominent role in his new team's rotation for 2022-23.

Knox was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Hawks on Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knox spent the early portion of the 2021-22 season with the Knicks before he was acquired by the Hawks via trade in January, but he wasn't able to carve out a regular role in Atlanta's rotation. The former No. 9 overall pick in the 2018 draft is now set to test free agency after averaging 3.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per game last season.

Knox amassed 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 136-118 victory over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Knox was a non-factor when he was with the Knicks and has also struggled to find a regular rotation spot in Atlanta, but there's no question this was one of his best performances of the season. That said, the lack of an established role and the limited minutes he's seeing on a regular basis make him a low-end fantasy asset in most formats.

Knox (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knox came into Saturday dealing with a non-COVID illness, but he'll be available if his number is called against Toronto. The 21-year-old has played sparingly this season, averaging 3.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in 7.9 minutes per game.

Knox is questionable for Saturday's game against the Raptors due to a non-COVID illness, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knox was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup. He's been a fringe rotation player for Atlanta recently, so his status shouldn't affect much.

Knox (not with team) is out for Friday's contest against the Heat, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Knicks dealt the 2018 first-round pick to Atlanta in the deal for Cam Reddish, but Knox hasn't joined his new team yet. His next chance to make his Hawks debut will be Saturday against his former team.

The Hawks acquired Knox and a protected 2022 first-round pick from the Knicks on Thursday in exchange for Cam Reddish, Solomon Hill (hamstring) and a 2025 second-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wojnarowski presents Knox as a throw-in to this trade, and that might not be far off from the truth. Despite his status as a 2018 lottery selection, Knox has appeared in just 13 games this season and has averaged 3.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in 8.5 minutes. His scoring average has decreased each season he's been in the league, and he's yet to shoot better than 39.2 percent from the field in any of his four years. At this point, Knox needs to be worried about his status in the NBA once his rookie deal expires this offseason. His path to fantasy relevance in Atlanta is arguably more blocked than it was in New York, so it may take several injuries to other forwards before Knox picks up a regular role off the bench.

Knox is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game at Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Knox cleared COVID-19 protocols last week but was held out of the Knicks' Christmas Day matchup against the Hawks for conditioning reasons. It's unclear if he'll be part of the rotation Tuesday night, but he'll be available should coach Tom Thibodeau choose to call his number.

Knox will be inactive for Saturday's Christmas matchup with the Knicks due to conditioning, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knox was cleared from the NBA's health and safety protocols on Friday. However, his conditioning is not up to par for him to be made available Christmas Day. As a result, he will set his sights on a potential Tuesday return.
