Overview

• Knecht suffered a calf cramp late in Friday’s Summer League matchup against the Dallas Mavericks and was ruled out after coach Lindsey Harding confirmed the injury is minor.
• The guard struggled offensively in that contest, going 6-for-16 from the field as he worked to regain consistency.
• Earlier in the California Classic finale versus the San Antonio Spurs, Knecht erupted for a fourth-quarter comeback that underscored his sharpshooting upside.
• Since the season concluded, he has held regular shooting drills and communication sessions with head coach JJ Redick to refine his perimeter game.
• Entering his second NBA season, the 2024 first-round pick remains a valuable perimeter asset whose role and trade prospects will be shaped by his Summer League performance.
