Suns' Brandon Knight: Falls out of rotation for second straight game

Knight (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 100-96 loss to the Bucks on Sunday.

Analysis:

After the Suns failed to find a trade partner for Knight at the deadline last Thursday, it appears the team is more or less writing the 25-year-old off as a sunk cost for the final third of the season. Knight has failed to appear in either of the Suns' two games since the deadline, as coach Earl Watson has deployed Tyler Ulis and Leandro Barbosa as his primary guards on the second unit. It may take an injury in order for Knight to rejoin the mix, but he likely wouldn't take on a meaningful enough role to deliver fantasy value outside of deeper formats. Look for the Suns to shop Knight throughout the offseason, though they may continue to struggle to find a suitor willing to commit to him through 2019-20, the final year of his contract.
