The Warriors have released Kevin Knox as they finalize their team roster.

According to sources, the Warriors have decided to waive Kevin Knox II, providing an opportunity for the talented wing to explore other options with different teams or pursue other opportunities. Despite being only 25 years old, Knox showed great promise during the Summer League and training camp with the Warriors. In fact, he averaged an impressive 17.5 points per game and shot 46% overall in four Summer League games.

Along with Knox, the Warriors have also decided to waive Jackson Rowe and Blake Hinson. These two players had Exhibit 10 contracts, which incentivized them to remain with the organization and potentially play for the G League Santa Cruz Warriors.

The deadline to make decisions on players with training camp deals was 2 p.m. and the Warriors had signed Knox to a non-guaranteed training camp deal. The former ninth pick in the 2018 draft began his career with the Knicks before playing for the Hawks, Pistons, and Blazers. In his 306 NBA games, Knox has averaged 7.4 points and 2.9 rebounds. Standing at 6-foot-7, he has the versatility to play either the small forward or power forward position in small-ball lineups, adding valuable floor-spacing.

Both Rowe and Hinson, who were undrafted players, had impressive training camps as well. As rangy wings, Rowe and Hinson showcased their abilities and potential. Rowe, who is 27 years old, averaged 9.7 points in 16 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors last season. Hinson, a standout player at Pittsburgh, shot a career-best 42.1% from 3 and averaged 18.5 points per game in his senior year.

With the Warriors' roster likely set at 14 players, there is still one open spot for a potential player. However, due to the team's salary cap limitations, they are unable to fill their 15th spot at the moment. The Warriors currently have three two-way players, including rookie Quinten Post, reliable guard Pat Spencer, and undrafted guard from Virginia, Reece Beekman.

The 14 rostered Warriors players heading into next week's regular season debut are as follows: Steph Curry, De'Anthony Melton, Brandin Podziemski, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters III, Gui Santos, Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, Kyle Anderson, and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Along with the three two-way players, this talented and diverse roster is ready to make a strong start to the season.
