Knox, 25, selected No. 9 overall by the New York Knicks in the 2018 NBA Draft, played more than three seasons in New York before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks midway through the 2021-22 season. Knox then played for the Detroit Pistons and Portland Trail Blazers in the 2022-23 season before playing for Detroit for a second time last season.

Knox averaged 7.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game on 39.2 percent shooting from the field and 34.1 percent from 3-point range in 306 career games (77 starts) before being added to Golden State's Summer League roster earlier this offseason.

The veteran forward shone for the Warriors this summer, leading the team in total points (70) and rebounds (34) in exhibition games.

Now he returns to Golden State to fight for a spot on the roster.
