Overview
- Perth has reached an agreement to sign 34-year-old Brandon Knight as a one-season import for NBL27 and the contract is subject to formal National Basketball League approval.
- Knight played more than a decade in the NBA as a top‑10 pick and finished his NBA career with 451 games and career averages near 14 points and 3.9 assists per game.
- Since leaving the NBA he rebuilt his career overseas, winning Puerto Rico league MVP in 2023 and posting recent reported averages around 18 points and 6.3 assists in the BSN.
- The club expects the signing to shore up a prolonged backcourt need but reports say Knight is unlikely to be available or cleared to play in Perth’s opening game at RAC Arena.
- If cleared, Knight would take one of the Wildcats' limited import slots and add veteran playmaking and scoring, a move that continues the NBL trend of former NBA players extending their careers in Australia.
