The Portland Trail Blazers have about three weeks to decide if they will opt in or not on Kevin Knox’s contract.
Knox, 24, was traded to the Blazers at this year’s trade deadline in the deal that sent Gary Payton II to the Golden State Warriors. In 21 appearances for the Blazers this season, Knox averaged 8.5 points per game. Knox has one year left on his contract, a team option worth $3 million.
