Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Ties rookie record for most threes
Knecht recorded 37 points (12-16 FG, 9-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 124-118 win over the Jazz.
Knecht continues to benefit from Rui Hachimura's (ankle) absence, as he made his third consecutive start Tuesday. Knecht poured in a career-high 37 points while tying Keyonte George, Yogi Ferrell and Rodrigue Beaubois for the rookie record with nine three-pointers made in a single game. Over his last three outings, the 23-year-old forward is averaging 26.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting 63.6 percent from the field and 61.5 percent from three.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Sets new career high in points
Knecht finished with 27 points (10-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 win over the Pelicans.
Knecht continues to impress with his play and made the most of the third start of his career, taking advantage of the absences of both Rui Hachimura (ankle) and Cam Reddish (leg). The 27-point output was a career-best mark for the rookie, who also set new personal bests in field goals made while tying his mark for more threes in a single game. Knecht's place in the lineup will depend on Hachimura's return, but the rookie is doing everything in his power to continue seeing a sizable role in the rotation.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Chips in 14 points vs. San Antonio
Knecht logged 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and three rebounds over 26 minutes in Friday's 120-115 win over the Spurs.
Knecht made the second start of his NBA career Friday on the heels of a 19-point performance against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. The rookie first-round pick had just three points in his first start Nov. 6 against Memphis, but he had a more efficient outing this time around. Knecht could make his third career start Saturday against the Pelicans if Rui Hachimura continues to be sidelined due to a sprained right ankle.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Left off injury report
Knecht (jaw) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Knecht left Wednesday's clash with the Grizzlies after taking a shot to the mouth, but the issue isn't serious enough to keep him from Friday's game. He should be available to play a full complement of minutes and is averaging 17.1 minutes through the first eight appearances of his young NBA career.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Gets hurt late in loss
Knecht (jaw) left Wednesday's 131-114 loss to the Lakers in the fourth quarter and didn't return. He supplied three points (1-7 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes before exiting.
Knecht took an elbow from Jake LaRavia to the jaw and was removed from the contest. The severity of the injury is unclear, but there were only a few minutes left in the game and the Lakers trailed by double-digits, so it's possible the team was just being cautious. Per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Knecht did not require any X-rays on his jaw postgame. His next chance to play will come Friday against Philadelphia.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Joins starting lineup
Knecht will move into the starting lineup Wednesday versus Memphis while Rui Hachimura (illness) is unavailable, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Knecht enters the first start of his NBA career having exceeded 15 minutes of action on four occasions thus far, but his playing time has fluctuated overall. Knecht is a candidate to receive a steady diet of spot-up looks for a Lakers lineup in need of shooting.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Heads to locker room
Knecht went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies with what appears to be a jaw injury, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Knecht caught an elbow to the face from Jake LaRavia late in the fourth quarter and exited the game to go back to the locker room. Considering the Lakers are down double-digits with three minutes to play, it's unlikely Knecht will return.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Drops career high in loss
Knecht put up 18 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 134-110 loss to the Cavaliers.
Knecht's 18 points mark a career high in his very young career, and he was one of the very few bright spots in Wednesday's loss. If the rookie continues to elevate his play, he could carve out a larger role for himself as the season progresses.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Out Friday
Knecht will not play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Warriors due to a knee issue, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Knecht apparently bumped his knee in Thursday's big win over the Spurs. Given it is the second night of an exhibition back-to-back, it is not surprising to see Los Angeles lean on the side of caution with its promising rookie. He accumulated 35 points (10-18 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, an assist, two steals and two blocks across 32 minutes off the bench in Thursday's contest. He projects to be one of the first players off the bench for Los Angeles as a depth forward option this season.

Lakers' Dalton Knecht: Explodes for 35 points in OT win
Knecht finished with 35 points (10-18 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, an assist, two steals and two blocks across 32 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 128-122 preseason win over the Suns.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say Knecht was the reason why the Lakers got the win Thursday, as the rookie drained two clutch threes nearing the end of the fourth quarter to force overtime and was constantly stepping up on offense when the team needed him the most. Knecht will open the season with a bench role for the Lakers, but based on what he did during the preseason, coach JJ Redick will have to find a way to give him consistent minutes. He's already one of the best shooters on the roster, and that's an ability that will always have value when playing alongside a great playmaker like LeBron James.
