In his debut with the Crusie, Knight led the second unit in scoring. The 26-year-old pro has averaged 9.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 23.0 minutes per game this season.

Boston waived Knight on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Knight was operating under a two-way deal but hadn't made any appearances at the NBA level yet. The Celtics may bring him back on a G League deal, but for now, he'll be a free agent while Boston looks to add a new two-way player.

Knight agreed to a two-way contract with Boston on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knight joins Boston's frontcourt after three seasons with Minnesota. He profiles as a different archetype than Boston's other backup bigs, as Knight is more mobile at 6-foot-8 while possessing some floor-spacing abilities. The 26-year-old averaged 3.7 points and 1.5 rebounds while shooting 56.8 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from deep across 37 appearances for the Timberwolves last season.

Knight was waived by the Knicks on Thursday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knight joined the Knicks on a two-way deal in mid-July but was unable to secure a spot on the team's final roster. He'll now seek out other opportunities ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, and it's possible he has to settle for a G League role.

EDGE Analysis

The Timberwolves declined Knight's $2 million team option for 2023-24 ahead of Thursday's deadline, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knight will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, meaning the Timberwolves won't be able to match any offer he receives. Knight averaged 3.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.7 minutes across 38 games in 2022-23.

Knight registered three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in five minutes during Saturday's 151-131 victory over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Knight played for the first time in almost three weeks, logging five minutes in garbage time. Despite having suited up on numerous occasions this season, his role figures to evaporate for any remaining games, with Karl-Anthony Towns now fully healthy.

Knight played 19 minutes and produced nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three assists, one rebound and one block across 19 minutes in Tuesday's 146-112 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The Timberwolves were on both sides of a blowout in home-and-home matchups with Denver on Sunday and Tuesday, allowing Knight to garner some extra playing time off the bench. In the game before the two-game set with Denver, Knight received 11 minutes in a seven-point loss to the Magic on Feb. 3, so he at least appears to be gaining some traction in head coach Chris Finch's rotation. Knight may continue to see some more time as a backup power forward and center until the Timberwolves have both Austin Rivers (back) and Kyle Anderson (back) available again.

Knight contributed 19 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and three steals across 25 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Knight was electric in the second half, scoring 17 of his 19 points in the second stanza. This was by far his best game of the season, with the coaching staff opting to stay with Knight down the stretch. Before managers go getting too excited, it should be noted that he had not played more than nine minutes in almost three weeks, scoring a grand total of 22 points over that time. While this was a great effort by Knight, he remains well off the radar when it comes to standard formats.
