Former Los Angeles Lakers first-round pick Dalton Knecht made a strong debut for the New York Knicks after being released by the Lakers, according to a report from Heavy.com on November 5, 2026.
Knecht, who wore number 4 for the Lakers, was photographed during a game against the Phoenix Suns at Crypto.com Arena on April 10, 2026, where he reacted after making a three-point shot. The Lakers subsequently released him, leading to his signing with the Knicks.
