Tue Nov 25 201418:37Brandon Knight: (Quad) Will Start Tuesday
Knight (quad) will start Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
He will play through the minor injury against his former team Tuesday, and is coming off a 27-point outing against the Wizards.

Knight (quad) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
It's unknown when Knight suffered the injury, as he scored a season-high 27 points in 37 minutes Saturday against the Wizards. However, his status for Tuesday's matchup with his former team is in jeopardy, and with Nate Wolters (illness) also questionable, the Bucks could be shorthanded in the backcourt if one or both players sit out.

Knight scored 24 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT) with six rebounds and five assists as the Bucks were beaten by the Magic on Friday.
Knight scored better than 20 points for the first time in the last five games. After hitting better than half of his 3-pointers in three of his first four games, Knight has cooled off for 5-of-20 (25 percent) in his last five games. In his last five games, he has provided 5.6 boards and 6.2 assists.
Wed Nov 12 201403:44Knight contributed across board, but slowed down from big totals...
Knight contributed across the board, but slowed down from the big totals that owners are used to. He finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 34 minutes on Tuesday.
He took a slight dip in production tonight, but was still given plenty of minutes and opportunities to contribute for his team. One thing to note is that Knight hasn't been attacking the rim as much as he had in his first two games, leading to a decrease in free throw attempts. Additionally, his steals have taken a hit these past three games. While these could be categories Knight is able to correct, both were career-high marks for the fourth-year player.
Wed Nov 5 201422:59Knight scored 10 points (3-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), with nine re...
Knight scored 10 points (3-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), with nine rebounds, seven assists and five steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Bulls.
Knight definitely struggled shooting the ball, but he made up for it by contributing in pretty much every other way. This just goes to show that even when he struggles to score, he'll still help out fantasy owners, making him an incredibly strong option.
Sat Nov 1 201423:32Knight scored team-high 24 points (9-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) wit...
Knight scored a team-high 24 points (9-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) with five rebounds and six assists in 38 minutes in the loss to the Wizards on Saturday.
Knight has been the most valuable Buck in terms of fantasy production. He shot the ball well for the first time this season and is putting up plenty of boards and dimes in the early going.
Sat Nov 1 201400:14Knight had 13 points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT) with seven rebou...
Knight had 13 points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT) with seven rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in the win over the 76ers on Friday.
Knight shot poorly but showed that he could contribute even when his shot was not falling. He has the ball in his hands often and is controlling the Jason Kidd-styled offense.
Wed Oct 29 201422:36Knight scored 22 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3P, 10-10 FT) with 13 assi...
Knight scored 22 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3P, 10-10 FT) with 13 assists and eight rebounds in 39 minutes during Wednesday's OT loss to the Hornets.
It was a great start to the season for Knight, who could end up shouldering a larger share of the offense than expected until Jabari Parker gets his feet under him.
Wed Oct 22 201418:46Knight (groin) will play Wednesday
Knight (groin) will play Wednesday, Fox Sports Wisconsin's Andrew Gruman reports.
It sounds Knight is relatively healthy, and he should be good to go for the start of the regular season.
Tue Oct 21 201418:46Knight (groin) could play Wednesday against Timberwolves
Knight (groin) could play Wednesday against the Timberwolves, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Knight, who has not played since last Saturday while nursing a sore groin, went through an extensive workout during Tuesday's practice. That's certainly encouraging, though the team could still hold him out of Wednesday's exhibition finale in order to give him another full week to rest up before the regular season tips off.

Knight (groin) will not play in Monday's preseason game versus the Knicks, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Knight will miss a third straight exhibition game due to a sore groin, which could allow offseason signing Kendall Marshall to make another start at point guard on Monday. While it's unclear whether Knight will be available for Wednesday's preseason finale, his current groin ailment is not thought to be serious. Nonetheless, it should be worthwhile to monitor Knight's status in the coming week, as he's expected to start for the Bucks once again this season.
Fri Oct 17 201419:09Knight (groin) will not play in Friday's game
Knight (groin) will not play in Friday's game.
It was believed that there was a chance Knight could play Friday, as he traveled with the team, although the team will continue to hold him out, likely as a precaution. Kendall Marshall will start at point guard in his stead.

Knight (groin) will travel with the team on its upcoming two-game road trip and could play Friday against Minnesota, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Knight, who missed Tuesday's game against the Cavs and Wednesday's practice, said his strained groin feels better, and there's a chance he could play Friday. If he sits out, he'll likely be ready to go against the Knicks on Monday.
Wed Oct 15 201414:37Knight (groin strain) held out of Wednesday's practice
Knight (groin strain) was held out of Wednesday's practice, Fox Sports Wisconsin's Andrew Gruman reports.
He has been held out of practice all week after suffering the injury over the weekend, but it isn't believed to be anything overly serious. Giannis Antetokounmpo was the starting point guard in Tuesday's exhibition.
Mon Oct 13 201414:22Knight (groin) will not play Tuesday against Cavs
Knight (groin) will not play Tuesday against the Cavs.
Knight tweaked his groin over the weekend and did not practice Monday. He'll remain in Milwaukee with Larry Sanders (illness) while the team travels to Cleveland. Knight could miss some practice over the next few days, but the groin issue doesn't look like anything that will hamper him long-term. Giannis Antetokounmpo will get the start at point guard Tuesday.

Coach Jason Kidd said Monday that he wouldn't mind a committee at the point guard spot this season, Charles Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
When healthy, Knight was Milwaukee's starting point guard last season, but the belief is still out there that he's better suited playing off the ball. With the Bucks adding Kendall Marshall and Jerryd Bayless this summer, Knight will have more competition in the backcourt and figures to see more time at the shooting guard spot. Marshall, particularly, is a true point guard, so it's possible Knight will see a decline in minutes (33.3 last season) with the added depth behind him.
Sat Jul 19 201419:22Brandon Knight could get more minutes at SG
Brandon Knight could be playing more minutes at shooting guard this season with the addition of Kendall Marshall.
He played next to Nate Wolters quite a bit last season and actually posted better numbers. Knight had higher efficiency and assist percentages next to Wolters while his usage rate was down. Plus, he ranked last in assist:turnover ratio in his last season with the Pistons before he lost his starting job to Jose Calderon. The Bucks are a bit of a mess right now and they could even ask Giannis Antetokounmpo to play some point guard. The Bucks also added Jerryd Bayless. A messy rotation in Milwaukee certainly wouldn't be a change from last season and that's exactly where we're headed.

Wed Jun 11 201419:27Brandon Knight travels to Rome
Brandon Knight traveled to Rome this month for the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program.
He's also been in the news for trade rumors with the Kings possibly willing to part with their eighth pick in the draft. Knight was by far the Bucks' most consistent player, but the team is likely the best bet for the worst record next season and it makes some sense to dissemble their current roster. His fantasy value would probably hold up better with the Bucks due to a higher usage rate.

Wed Apr 16 201423:20Brandon Knight scores 31 in season finale
Brandon Knight hit 12-of-18 shots and three 3-pointers for 31 points, seven rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
Knight had a great season when he was healthy and the Bucks are going to stay in Milwaukee for the foreseeable future after today's sale was finalized. John Henson came off the bench for 19 points and a full stat line and Khris Middleton stayed hot with 16 points, seven rebounds and two 3-pointers. The Bucks season, mercifully, is over.

Wed Apr 16 201413:09Bucks to make 'major announcement' on Wed.
The Bucks will make a "major announcement" at the Bradley Center on Wednesday, and they're expected to announce the sale of the franchise.
Owner Herb Kohl has made keeping the team in Milwaukee a pre-condition to any sale, so presumably the new ownership group will keep the team in town. We'll have more details after the announcement at 2:30 ET.
