The injury-depleted Detroit Pistons have signed a familiar face, agreeing to a one-year deal with free agent forward Kevin Knox. Knox played 42 games with the Pistons last season before being dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers.
The 24-year-old Knox averaged 5.6 points and shot 46.9% from the field and 37% from 3 last year for the Pistons. He is capable of playing both forward spots, and with Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Livers, and Joe Harris all among Detroit’s injury report, he could find himself on the court pretty quickly.
After arriving in Portland, Knox saw increased playing time and a larger shot profile, but his efficiency dipped down to 44% overall and 41% from 3, netting 8.
