Knight (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

Knight was initially slated to return Wednesday, but after pregame warmups it was determined that his ankle is not quite healed to the point that he's ready to return to game action. Considering how long it took for the team to rule him out, however, Knight appears very close to returning. He could be back as soon as Friday versus Portland.
