Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Another low point Wednesday
Dalton Knecht accumulated three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in one minute during Wednesday's 132-119 loss to the Spurs.Knecht continues to be a non-factor for the Los Angeles Lakers, having scored double digits only five times thus far this season. He has played in three of the past four games, averaging 3.7 points in 5.7 minutes per game during that span. At this stage, he would need a miracle to have any chance of going close to putting up fantasy value, outside of very deep formats.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Plays 17 minutes in win
Dalton Knecht had four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 17 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 win over the Pelicans.Knecht has effectively been phased out of the Los Angeles Lakers' regular rotation. Even with LeBron James (foot) and Marcus Smart (back) ruled out for Sunday's game, Knecht played only 17 minutes. With a fully healthy squad, Knecht will likely not see the court. Prior to Sunday night, Knecht logged just a total of five minutes (and two DNPs) in his last four games.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Third-year option exercised
The Los Angeles Lakers picked up Dalton Knecht's $4.2 million team option for the 2026-27 season on Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.The transaction was mostly a formality and keeps Knecht on the Lakers' books through his third NBA season. Although Knecht didn't produce eye-popping stat lines in the preseason, multiple reports have suggested that head coach JJ Redick has been impressed by the second-year wing during training camp. With LeBron James (sciatica) sidelined to begin the season, Knecht should have the opportunity to be a regular part of the Los Angeles rotation, though he may not get enough minutes to be much of a fantasy factor.
