Knicks Sign Dalton Knecht to Two-Year Deal

The New York Knicks have signed guard Dalton Knecht to a two-year contract, officially adding the sharpshooter to their roster on Friday morning. This move follows Knecht's release from the Los Angeles Lakers earlier in the week, a decision that came after a decrease in his playing time during his second season.

Knecht, a first-round pick in the 2024 NBA draft, had a promising start to his professional career with the Lakers. In his rookie year, he averaged 9.1 points per game, shooting 37% from three-point range. The exact details regarding which player the Knicks will waive to make room for Knecht on the roster have not yet been disclosed. It was previously reported that former No. 2 draft pick James Wiseman secured the Knicks' final roster spot following an impressive training camp and preseason performance.
