Spanish basketball club Unicaja Málaga entered negotiations to sign American forward Kevin Knox to address roster depth following Tyson Pérez’s Achilles tendon surgery. The club sought to leverage Knox’s experience from over 320 NBA games to bolster its frontcourt.

On October 29, 2026, the club officially announced the signing of the 27-year-old forward through the end of the current season. Standing 2.03 meters tall, Knox was originally selected ninth overall in the 2018 NBA Draft and has played for several franchises, including the New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Portland Trail Blazers, and Golden State Warriors. Most recently, he competed in the NBA G League for the Windy City Bulls, where he averaged 21.4 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.

This move marks Knox’s first professional experience in European basketball. He is expected to compete in both the Liga Endesa and the Basketball Champions League, joining a roster that features other former NBA players such as Ignas Brazdeikis, Willy Hernangomez, and Matt Thomas.
