Perth Wildcats Chase Ex-NBA Star Knight
16 Jan
Summary
- Perth Wildcats need an injury replacement by tomorrow evening.
- NBA veteran Brandon Knight is a leading candidate for the spot.
- Knight would fill a crucial point guard role for the Wildcats.
The Perth Wildcats are reportedly targeting former NBA player Brandon Knight as an injury replacement, needing to secure the signing by 9:30 PM AEDT tomorrow to maintain their finals chances. Knight, who last played in Puerto Rico after his NBA stint with the Dallas Mavericks in the 2021-22 season, is seen as a frontrunner for the role.
Knight's addition would be a significant boost for the Wildcats, who are currently hampered by the absence of David Duke Jr. and Jaron Rillie, with the latter recently undergoing hamstring surgery. The 34-year-old, an 8th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, brings 489 games of NBA experience to the court.
Currently sitting in fifth place with a 14-10 record, the Wildcats anticipate Knight filling a vital point guard position as they vie for a spot in the upcoming finals series. His availability could be key to their postseason aspirations.
