Golden State Warriors to sign G League star who ‘exploded for 39 points’, it’s a great chance for him

The Golden State Warriors are determined to find new solutions to make a late-season push this 2024-25.

Reeling from plenty of ups and downs, the Dubs made a move at the trade deadline, taking a swing for Jimmy Butler .

And just a few days after, they also made a contract conversion for their intriguing rookie Quinten Post, who earned tons of praise from franchise superstar Stephen Curry .

Despite doubts since then , the Golden State Warriors are still on track.

With Butler showcasing his special skill set , the team established a 3-1 record over their past four games which puts them in an advantageous spot to maintain their title hopes alive in post-All-Star Break.

And just recently, they landed another important move to kickstart the second half of the season by signing a former lottery sensation.

Warriors land a 10-day deal with Kevin Knox On February 19, the Warriors announced in a press release that they struck a temporary deal with Kevin Knox.

Knox, who was drafted by the New York Knicks as the No.

9 overall pick of the 2018 Draft, has six seasons of experience already in the NBA while playing with five different ball clubs.

He last played for the Detroit Pistons in 2023-24, averaging 7.2 points and 2.4 boards in 31 games.

Knox dropped a major performance during his time for Warriors G League team The 25-year-old was notably signed by the Dubs back in September, but was eventually waived ahead of the start of the season.

Knox eventually joined Golden States G League squad, the Santa Cruz Warriors.

In the developmental league, he didnt disappoint in showcasing his talent as he is averaging 21.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 28 games.

Wearing a Santa Cruz jersey provided Knox a remarkable performance that might have influenced Golden State to give him a 10-day deal.

Last month, he exploded for a career-high 39 points to go with six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block while shooting 14-of-17 from the field (6-of-7 from threes) to lead the Warriors 1361-30 victory over the Stockton Kings.

Following his impressive show-off in Santa Cruz, Knox will attempt to convince Golden State that he deserves to be a part of their grand plans to compete for a title this year.
