The rumours have finally come true as the Los Angeles Lakers have confirmed the release of Dalton Knecht, as Shams Charania was first to report.
Knecht, the 17th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, will be free to negotiate with any other NBA franchise interested in his services.
He had just one year left on his contract, worth a little over $4.2 million.
The sharpshooter, who played college basketball at the University of Tennessee, has career NBA averages of 7.1 points and 37% from three across 132 regular-season games.
