After Wednesday's shootaround, Knight (ankle) sounded like he expects to return for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

Knight has missed the last six games with a sprained ankle, but he's been listed as questionable for the last few days and a return appears imminent. Coach Jeff Hornacek may opt to bring Knight off the bench in an effort to ease his transition back into game action, but another report suggests Knight could get the start as a means of keeping his ankle loose following pregame warmups. Either way, if Knight returns he's a risky daily play as he'll likely be slightly less than 100 percent and could face a minutes limit.
