Former NBA forward Kevin Knox could be headed overseas for the first time in his career, according to Alex Molina of Eurohoops, who reports that the Spanish club Unicaja Malaga is discussing a contract with the 27-year-old’s camp.

Knox was waived by the Magic on Friday night after spending training camp and the preseason with Orlando.

The ninth overall pick in the 2018 draft, Knox has averaged 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds on .393/.340/.723 shooting in 320 NBA appearances (17.5 minutes per game). His last NBA stint came with Golden State during the 2024/25 campaign.

Knox spent all of last season in the G League with the Windy City Bulls. In 39 games, he averaged 21.4 PPG and 7.7 RPG on .464/.414/.836 shooting in 32.4 MPG.

As Molina writes, Unicaja has battled injuries this fall, including losing Tyson Perez to a torn Achilles tendon. The Malaga-based team competes in Spain’s top domestic league (Liga ACB) as well as the Basketball Champions League (BCL). international
