The Chicago Bulls, for reasons that may forever remain unknown, have become the latest NBA team to take a flier on Kevin Knox, according to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.

Specifics of the contract haven’t been reported, but if the Bulls signed Knox to an Exhibit 10 deal, it would allow them to keep his G League rights and assign him to the Windy City Bulls this season.

Chicago is the latest stop for the former Kentucky Wildcats standout in what continues to be one of the strangest NBA careers of the last decade.

Knox is well-traveled, to say the least: The Bulls are the sixth organization to employ the 26-year-old in seven NBA seasons.

He was the ninth overall pick in the 2018 draft and played his first three-and-a-half years with the New York Knicks before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks during the 2021-22 campaign.

He went from Atlanta to Detroit the following season and has spent time with the Portland Trail Blazers, Pistons again and most recently the Golden State Warriors. He averaged 25.3 points and 8.8 rebounds with Golden State’s G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, in 12 games last year and appeared in 14 NBA contests.

Knox’s best season came as a rookie. In 75 games, 57 of which were starts, he averaged 12.8 points and 4.5 rebounds, but shot just 37.0 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from three. In the ensuing 245 games between 2020 and 2025, he averaged 5.5 points.

The Phoenix native has an intriguing theoretical skill set that keeps teams calling. He’s 6-foot-7 and a sturdy 215 pounds, carrying a 6-foot-11 wingspan with decent athleticism. Early in his career, he appeared to be a prospect who could develop into a true three-level scorer; obviously, that hasn’t panned out.

He owns career averages of 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds.

At this point, Knox is nothing more than a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency depth piece who can stay warm in the G League. The Bulls are deep on the wing, too, which makes this move even more confounding.

Teams are allowed to roster 21 players during the offseason; Knox would be No. 19, which means Chicago doesn’t need to make a corresponding roster move.
