Draymond Green stated that Dalton Knecht is not expected to be included in the Los Angeles Lakers' regular season roster. The Lakers currently have 16 guaranteed contracts, and can only carry 15 into the season. Green noted that Knecht has been outperformed by Bronny James and Jaden Hardy during training camp, leading to his expected exclusion from the team. Knecht's situation was complicated by a previously voided trade involving Mark Williams, which Green believes impacted Knecht's standing within the organization.
