The Los Angeles Lakers rescinded an exchange with the star of the rookie of the Charlotte Hornets, Dalton Knecht.
During the February 6 trade deadline, the Lakers tried to acquire the center of Mark Williams in Charlotte in exchange for Knecht, Forward Cam Reddish and Future Draft Capital.
The measure occurred after they changed the great man, Anthony Davis, to Dallas for the boy from the Mavericks poster, Luka Doncic.
However, on Friday, Shams Charania de ESPN reported that the exchange had fallen since Williams could not meet the standards of the Lakers after their physique.
The 'Mark Williams' physicist with the Lakers showed multiple problems and the team failed him in the exam, the sources tell ESPN, “Charania wrote.” The physicist did not fail due to his back, however. “
The empty transaction leaves the Lakers with a thin front track for the rest of the season.
On the other hand, Knecht's return to the rotation of the Lakers will strengthen his shot around LeBron James and the newly acquired Doncic.
Los Angeles selected Knecht from Tennessee with the 17th General Selection in the NBA Draft of 2024. Since arriving, he averaged 9.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, shooting 46.5 percent from the field.
