Brandon Knight: Tears ACL, could miss all of 2017-18 season

Knight struggled to find his way into the Suns’ rotation last season, playing in
just 54 games and posting 11.0 points, 2.4 assists and 2.2 boards across 21.1
minutes per game while shooting 39.8 percent from the field — all
career-worsts. Now, it appears that there’s a chance Knight won’t participate at
all during the 2017-18 season as the result of an ACL tear in his left knee,
which he suffered while playing in his native South Florida. Though he wasn’t
expected to see a significant role next season after floundering in a sixth man
role last year, his injury will likely open up more opportunities for the likes
of Tyler Ulis and Elijah Millsap, assuming the Suns don’t make a move to acquire
another guard in free agency or via trade.
