Knight, who the Celtics signed to a two-way deal on October 22, did not appear in a game before being waived. The move frees up a two-way contract slot for the Celtics while allowing Knight to catch on a team that may need him more.

Knight has averaged 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 7.8 minutes across 108 contests in his three-season career, playing for the Hawks and Timberwolves. He’s not on the fantasy radar this season, barring injuries further up the depth chart.

Knight signed a two-way deal with the Knicks in July, and he nearly made it to the final roster. If he doesn’t find a new home, there’s a decent chance that he sticks around in Rochester to play for the Knicks’ G-League affiliate.

After spending his last two seasons with the Timberwolves, Knight is headed back to his home state. The Syracuse native appeared in 38 games last season, averaging 3.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.7 minutes. While the averages were pedestrian, Knight did have flashes when the Timberwolves were shorthanded in the post. With the Knicks trading Obi Toppin to the Pacers, there’s room for a player like Knight to hop into the back end of the rotation. That won’t impact fantasy basketball due to New York’s reliance on Julius Randle, but it’s an opportunity for Knight to show what he can do.
