The Golden State Warriors made a splash acquisition before the NBA trade deadline, sending away Andrew Wiggins, their 2025 first-round pick, and multiple other players to land Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler. After a saga in Miami that saw Butler receive multiple suspensions, the Warriors landed the multi-time All-Star, and he's been a great addition through four games.

As a result of the Butler trade, Golden State opened up several roster spots that needed to be filled. For one of their open spots, the team converted rookie second-rounder Quinten Post to a rest-of-season deal. Still needing to fill in roster spots, the Warriors made another signing following their 105-98 win over the Houston Rockets on Thursday night.

The Warriors intend to sign Kevin Knox into one of their vacant roster spots out of the All-Star break, per sources. Ten-day contract. Knox is averaging 19.1 points, 7.3 rebounds in Santa Cruz. Organization has been high on him back to summer league. An extra big scoring wing.

The Warriors are set to sign former ninth overall pick Kevin Knox II to a 10-day contract after the All-Star break, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. Knox, who has spent time this season with the Warriors' G League affiliate in Santa Cruz, has averaged 19.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.

Drafted in 2018 out of Kentucky to the New York Knicks, Knox fell out of favor after starting 57 of his 75 games in his rookie season. Knox then went on to have stops with the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, and Portland Trail Blazers.

Kevin Knox was on fire tonight for the Warriors! The former NBA vet erupted for 39 points, tying his career high. This marks his fourth 30+ point game of the season, and he’s now averaging 25.8 PPG during the regular season. pic.twitter.com/XzjQdJmDC8
