Matt Knight to miss remainder of preseason

So Rhys Vague gets his chance to impress more?

Is Vague a centre or would he be playing out of position?

Cripple before he's 40,that boats long sailed!!! Needs to be covered in cotton wool every time he goes near ball.

Yes, but that indicates that there wasn't much impact.

Unfortunately there isn't much after basketball professionally for Matty, so I'm guessing this was his motivation for putting off retirement.

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but fairly solid slap doesn't come close to what I remember, unless Prather has mastered the One Finger Punch of Death.

Hahaha sorry couldn't resist I ♥ that song after seeing that reference from Luuc.

Back on topic more like a fingertouch and Knight is concussed. Very odd and worrying.

Fingerbang bang bang Fingerbang bang bang bang bang
I'm gunna fingerbang, bang you into my life.
Girl, you like to fingerbang and it's alright.
'cause' I'm the king of fingerbang, yea, that's right .
I'll just fingerbang, bang you every night.♫

It's seems way beyond optimistic to hope he can avoid being fingerbanged like that this season. Even last season we was a very good player when healthy. Tough situation all round.
I too was surprised he decided to lace them again for one more season. It doesn't sit that well with me, but it's his call. Crossing my fingers (but not in the vicinity of his head)

Still a solid contributor. I think loads of people underestimate what he brings to a team.

But I don't think concerns about his life after basketball are unfounded. That finger-glace concussion was bizarre.

Yeah, that concussion is one of the weirdest (and most troubling) ones I've seen.

Knight isn't the player he once was, but he's basically money from just above the FT line. Probably the best in the league from that spot.

It was a glancing finger from Prather, not an elbow!

Matt Knight has always been a risk, a shoulder popped or concussion seemed always around the corner.

But when healthy he is one of the better big men around.

Look what he did to Cairns and then Game 1 of the GF with his mid-range.

He is also a good low post defender.

Just a shame that something like a glancing elbow from Prather could trigger concussion.

I honestly thought he would give it up after last season.

Man this guy really doesn't know when to give it up.

Didn't realise Knight had so many haters.

My only criticism of him has been his durability.

Former league MVP runner up has always been a work horse with an underrated mid-range jumper.

Knight WAS a solid player in the post, if last season was his first you would all say he's a crab. The player he was in the past doesn't help us this season...

That's exactly what marto does, in pre season every time Kenny or DKD tried to push the ball Knight acts like a road block at half court waddling his arse to the other end.

Quality player and has been a huge part of the dynasty in Perth, can't argue with that. Just have to wonder how his quality of life will be say 5/10 years after his career is finished.

^ clueless. when healthy he is still quality

He has been a warrior, father time slows for no man!

I'm with anon, let knight go and play small ball with steindl..

Poor guy. He's going to be a cripple by the time he's 40.

Getting his injury quota in before the regular season. Smart move.

Is it possible that we could have an ACT v Tas semi in the U16 boys? What a turn up that would be for the big states.
You would expect some serious reviews to occur in Vic, NSW, SA.
