Knight will be shut down for the remainder of the season due to a sports hernia, The Arizona Republic's Paul Coro reports.

Analysis:

Knight, who has missed the Suns' last two games, but will receive a second opinion on the hernia later in the week to determine if surgery is necessary. He'll now sit out the lottery-bound Suns' final five contests, marking the second time in as many years that his season has been cut short by injury. With a full offseason to recover, Knight should have no issue being ready for the beginning of the 2016-17 campaign.
