The basketball community is preparing itself for the NBA All-Star Weekend to roll out in San Francisco. However, the franchises, precisely the Golden State Warriors, might be waiting for the All-Stars break. They will return to action on Feb 21 after refueling for the final lap of the fierce regular season, but the vacant space in their roster will still need to be filled. Despite Jimmy Butler’s entry, something seems to be missing. Thankfully, the Dubs front office has a plan.

It seems like Mike Dunleavy Jr. is brewing something up. Again! Surely, signing Jimmy to pair him up with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green wasn’t enough. How could it be? For a once-unbeatable dynasty, losing more games than winning is a nightmare. Meanwhile, the Warriors insider, Anthony Slater of The Athletic, dropped major news:

Taking to his X handle, Slater tweeted: “The Warriors intend to sign Kevin Knox into one of their vacant roster spots out of the All-Star break, per sources. Ten-day contract. Knox is averaging 19.1 points, and 7.3 rebounds in Santa Cruz. Organization has been high on him back to summer league. An extra big scoring wing.”

In 2018, Kevin Knox was the ninth overall draft pick and played for the New York Knicks until 2022. Then he moved from one team to another, Hawks, Pistons, Trail Blazer, and back to the Hawks. Then, he had to move to the NBA G League. Knox is currently playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors, the Golden State Warriors affiliated G League team.

And now, it looks like the 25-year-old small forward is ready to make his comeback in the main league all over again. However, he has some regrets and Kevin Knox seems to be blaming himself for his sudden Icarus-like condition in basketball.

Amidst his hopes for a bigger role with the Golden State Warriors, Kevin Knox reflects on his shortcomings

Kevin Knox was meant to become one of the next big stars in the NBA. However, fate had other plans for him, thus dragging him from the main league to the junior league. But then, playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors must have been an important lesson in his career. Meanwhile, Knox still believes, and quite strongly that he belongs in the NBA and not in the G League.

Meanwhile, he blames himself for his disheartening reality. How did he go from the bright lights of Madison Square Garden to a G League crowd of just 2,476 at Kaiser Permanente Arena? Once the No. 9 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, Kevin Knox was meant for bigger stages. Six years in the league, yet not a single game this season. What went wrong?

In an exclusive interview with NBC Bay Area, the 25-year-old forward counted his shortcomings and said: “It’s a mixture of a lot of things. Personally, I’d say it’s my fault being down here. A lot of guys don’t take the blame for situations like this, but for me, personally, I take the blame for a lot of stuff. If I perform better and play better up top, I won’t be here. Being down here, I don’t really take it as a demotion or anything. I take it as you come down here to learn and learn under a great system. Work on things you need to work on.”

Well, it seems like Kevin Knox’s hard work and prayers have been seen and heard. The Golden State Warriors front office is considering a move for him. Stephen Curry and Co. are eyeing Kevin Knox as the perfect fit to strengthen their roster for a playoff—or even Finals—push. Most importantly, it will be the second chance Knox has been looking for. However, the question remains:

Will the Dubs truly make a move? What do you think?
