Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Struggles in preseason opener
Knecht tallied six points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds during Friday's 103-81 preseason loss to the Suns.
Knecht and fellow 2024 draft pick Bronny James combined to go 3-for-22 from the field, including 2-for-15 from three-point range in Friday's exhibition contest. Knecht is aiming to carve out a meaningful role for himself off the bench, especially after a tumultuous rookie season in which he was traded to the Hornets in early February only for the transaction to be rescinded. His main competition for minutes off the bench will come from the likes of Jake LaRavia and Marcus Smart (Achilles).

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Suffers apparent knee injury
Knecht was spotted getting his right knee examined on the bench during the fourth quarter of Thursday's 87-85 Summer League loss to the Mavericks, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Knecht appeared to suffer the injury on an attempt at the rim late in the game, and he left the matchup to be evaluated further. He failed to re-enter the contest, so the severity of the injury is currently unknown. Knecht can be considered day-to-day until the team has more news to share on his availability moving forward.
