Top Dalton Knecht News

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Sees just eight minutes

    Knecht ended Tuesday's 111-88 win over the Wizards with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in eight minutes.

    Knecht's fantasy arrow continues to point down, with this being his lowest workload since Dec. 21. The Lakers will be getting Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) back on Saturday versus Golden State, making this rotation even harder to crack.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Shooting struggles continue

    Knecht accumulated six points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 17 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

    Knecht was once considered a contender for NBA Rookie of the Year, but he's been on the decline lately. The first-round pick has shot 23.9 percent from beyond the arc over the last 16 games, which has hurt his chances of being a dependable shooter and scorer off the bench for coach JJ Redick, who used to rave about the rookie standout.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Rookie gets back on track

    Knecht chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 115-113 win over Golden State.

    Following the ankle injury suffered by Anthony Davis, Knecht saw more time on the floor on Christmas Day against the Warriors. The rookie forward was highly productive in 25 minutes and might get more minutes if Davis misses time, especially with the Lakers already without Christian Wood (knee) and Jarred Vanderbilt (foot).

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Heading to bench Friday

    Knecht is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

    The Lakers will tweak their lineup with the return of Austin Reaves, and the rookie will head to the bench, as his elite shooting ability can be an asset in the second unit. Knecht is averaging 7.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game off the bench this season.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Struggles with shot

    Knecht logged six points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 victory over Portland.

    With LeBron James (foot) missing his first game of the season, Knecht will be disappointed that he couldn't take advantage of the extra usage. Knecht has lost a lot of steam to open December, averaging 6.8 points on 35.7 percent shooting over his last five outings.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Leading scorer in Friday's loss

    Knecht closed Friday's 101-93 loss to the Thunder with 20 points (7-17 FG, 6-13 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes.

    The rookie led the Lakers in scoring as he continues to take on a bigger role in the offense. Knecht has started six of the last eight games and scored at least 14 points in each start, averaging 22.5 points, 5.5 boards and 4.8 threes in 34.0 minutes over those six outings.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Good to go against OKC

    Knecht (quadriceps) is available for Friday night's game against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Knecht will play through a right quadriceps injury Friday for a second straight game. He's coming off a 20-point performance against the Kings on Wednesday, and over his last 10 games (including five starts), he has averaged 15.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 28.0 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Probable for Friday

    Knecht is probable for Friday's game against the Thunder with a right quad contusion, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Knecht is coming off an impressive performance Wednesday after scoring a team-high 20 points in the win over the Spurs. Even though he's listed as probable for this matchup, all signs point to him being available and likely to handle the same workload he's had in recent games. Knecht has started in five of the Lakers' last seven games, averaging 18.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in that span.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Leads Lakers in scoring

    Knecht posted 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 119-101 win over San Antonio.

    Knecht led the Lakers in scoring ahead of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and the rookie's role on offense continues to grow with each passing game. Knecht has been at his best when deployed in a starting role, as he's averaged 19.7 points per game while shooting 48 percent from three-point range in his six starts.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Available vs. San Antonio

    Knecht (quadriceps) is starting Wednesday against the Spurs, according to Khobi Price of The Orange County Register.

    Knecht was initially listed as questionable and then bumped to probable, so his availability isn't entirely surprising, although his move to the starting unit will undoubtedly shake things up following the 27-point loss against the Suns on Tuesday. The rookie out of Tennessee is averaging 14.0 points per game over his last 10 appearances (five starts).

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Probable to face Spurs

    Knecht (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

    The rookie was initially listed as questionable, but the bump in status suggests he should be available to feature in his regular capacity. Knecht is averaging 14.0 points per game over his last 10 appearances (five starts).

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Iffy for Wednesday

    Knecht is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a right quad contusion, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    This is a new injury for Knecht, but the questionable tag suggests that this is a day-to-day issue. Cam Reddish (ankle) is also questionable to face the Spurs. If Knecht is unable to suit up, Rui Hachimura could pick up a handful of extra minutes, and Max Christie could see extended run as well.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Retreats to bench Saturday

    Knecht is not in the Lakers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    After starting in the Lakers' last four games, Knecht will revert to a reserve role Saturday due to Rui Hachimura (ankle) returning from a four-game absence. Knecht averaged 23.8 points and 4.8 rebounds over his last four starts, and while he is no longer starting, head coach JJ Reddick relayed Saturday that the rookie forward will see extended playing time off the bench, per Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Falls back to earth with 17 points

    Knecht recorded 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-118 loss to the Magic.

    Knecht had a decent shooting night Thursday after wowing the crowds with a scintillating three-point barrage that drew praise from his All-Star teammates Tuesday. Now that Knecht has proven his worth, he will find himself in competition with Rui Hachimura (ankle) for playing time. It will be interesting to see how the first unit shakes out when Hachimura returns, and Cam Reddish could be the odd man out if coach JJ Redick chooses to ride with a stronger three-point threat.

  • Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Ties rookie record for most threes

    Knecht recorded 37 points (12-16 FG, 9-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 124-118 win over the Jazz.

    Knecht continues to benefit from Rui Hachimura's (ankle) absence, as he made his third consecutive start Tuesday. Knecht poured in a career-high 37 points while tying Keyonte George, Yogi Ferrell and Rodrigue Beaubois for the rookie record with nine three-pointers made in a single game. Over his last three outings, the 23-year-old forward is averaging 26.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting 63.6 percent from the field and 61.5 percent from three.
