NBA veteran Brandon Knight is set to join the NBL powerhouse, the Perth Wildcats, just in time for the finals. With the deadline looming at 9:30 PM AEDT tomorrow night, the team is expected to sign the 34-year-old, who last played in the NBA during the 2021-22 season with the Dallas Mavericks. Knight, a former No. 8 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, brings a wealth of experience to the Wildcats, who are currently without key players David Duke Jr. and Jaron Rillie due to injury. Since his NBA departure, Knight has played in Puerto Rico and Greece, averaging impressive stats with the Capitanes de Arecibo. His 10-year NBA career, spanning Detroit, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Houston, Cleveland, and Dallas, makes him a valuable addition to the team's point guard position as they strive for a finals berth. Knight's familiarity with Perth, having worked as a coach and mentor for the Basketball Without Borders program, adds to his appeal. With the Wildcats in fifth place at 14-10, Knight's signing is a strategic move to boost their chances of reaching the finals.
