“Signing with an important team like Pistoia – said Knight, who was born in New Orleans on March 31, 2000 – is something nice for me. this is a club that has achieved several successes throughout its history and I am looking forward to coming to the city. After talking with coach Tommaso Della Rosa, I sensed his confidence in me and his sincere desire to have me on the team”.

“From that moment – added the new red-and-white acquisition – I understood that Pistoia was the right place for me. Moreover, Italy is an extraordinary place, rich in culture and true passion for basketball: to be part of an environment where people care so much about the sport I love is all I could wish for. I want to thank the management and staff for giving me this opportunity and I look forward to taking the court to meet my new teammates as well as getting to know the fantastic fans who support Pistoia”.
