Knox comes from the G League. Last season, he suited up for the Windy City Bulls and averaged 21.4 points and 7.6 rebounds in 39 games offensive volume that keeps his name on the league's radar.
His last NBA stint was with the Golden State Warriors in the 2024-25 season. A seven-year veteran of the league, the 6'8" (2.03 m) winger has also suited up for the New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers and Detroit Pistons since arriving in the NBA.

The move is a classic of cast management: the Magic ensure depth for training camp without compromising on the final roster spot. If Knox surrenders, he fights for a slot; if not, he continues as an important piece in the Osceola Magic, available should Orlando need emergency backup during the season.
For the Magic fanbase, the current stage is clear: The contract is low-risk, and word on Knox's future in the starting lineup should come out when the team closes its roster for the regular season.
