Can only hope. terribly risky and imo moronic decision to have played this season by himself and club.

Dunigan time

Chase Daniel Johnson at seasons end to replace him. This was you have Brandt on the inside and DJ stretching the floor. DJ is a WA boy right?

Read the link Manu.

Its in the very first sentence of the article. Are you really this dumb?

The first line of the link says 'Perth Wildcats power forward Matt Knight has called time on his outstanding NBL career, effective immediately.'

nbl.com.au is for n00bs

Manu is a boob

" If YOU read what I said in my original comment, your dumb ass would've realised that. You would be laid out if you acted like that in person man."

hahahahahaha manu trolls the whole forum then threatens violence

Classic Manu, grow a set!

Be careful boys, he will lay you out on an anonymous forum!! OMG pure gold right there.

Man, what a tough guy Manu is. Bwahahahah. #layout

If you guys want to talk about flopping, go to the Sobey thread.

Deng Gak redshirting this year wonder if he would consider NBL.

RIP Matty

The whole saga is dodgy.

Even the piece during half time shown didn't mention how many concussions Knight had had... it was only Lachie Reid after the piece had ended made the comment that Knight had suffered a DOZEN concussions. NBL/Wildcats probably aren't happy he said it.

How can he have had a dozen concussions and only now retire?

It did? Okay. Wow...

It looks like the Greek team he was with released him.

Only problem with that is the Cats need a 4/5 man.
In saying that give more minutes to Cooke and Wagstaff ( Knight was only playing around 10 mpg anyway) and Steindl looks a good option for them remembering they can replace Cooke at anytime.

Keyboard Warrior

4 titles 6 GF appreances in 7 years as a Cat.

he only won three titles

DC is actually a really good post defender and can alter shots. On offence you can use him well off the pick and roll with Cotton so he has his advantages. The Cats will probaly now sign a local big and keep DC.

It's often the flashy guys who get the glory, however make no mistake the blue chip nature of guys like Matty are what made the Cats.

I coached against Matt in 2001, and the big Tassie boy was killing it ...leading the comp with FG% & rebounding. We stuck Luke Nevill behind him and Tom Garlepp in front of him and dared someone else to beat us. Tassie kept playing through him and if it wasn't for Tom being such a mean SOB - they would of got us too.

Much respect for him and hope he looks after himself.

Any links or facts to Steindl being released?

He isn't on the roster of his Greek team anymore. Can't find confirmation though.

Still has him on it, couldn't find anywhere on Eurobasket transactions about him being cut or twitter

thanks

Allowing him to play on this season is a farce. Let's hope someone reviews their internal process's how this happened. Clearly the medical experts got it very very wrong.

Always liked Knight as a person and player. Glad he retired before something serious happened.

Lawsuit against the Cats in future if brain problems occur?

Every chance he could be the first person with a brain injury in the NBL.

Not the first. Mitch Creek has clearly got some sort of brain damage.

He was cleared to play by the best in the field. Guess what they were wrong.
I love a strength and conditioning coach saying "However, Wildcats strength and conditioning coach Josh Cavanagh said the 32-year-old had avoided concussion against the Taipans."
""He just got a knock to the cheekbone," Cavanagh told The West Australian."
So where is Pottsy in this quote?

Then we have "but six concussion-related incidents in the past six years have raised concerns about long-term impact" Duh, there's a clue right there.

"It was the second serious head knock Knight had sustained in the past month. He was unable to play the next match both times." There in lies the problem.( March 6, 2017 ).
2 in one month, he should have been ruled out for several months at the minimum based on his concussion history.

Experts were wrong as proven by that graze by a ball that concussed him.

From Boti Nagy:

"I remember in college they used to have a rule that if you have three concussions you're ruled out for the rest of the season, Matty had two quick ones, suffered a third and then they said we will make it four. We laughed about at the time but it stems back a long time he's been suffering these knocks," Martin recalled.

“Once he steps across the line, he's all in and he'd run through a brick wall to try and win a ball for his teammates.

“An undersized big man at 6 foot 7, he was at the height of some of the taller guys to turn around and get elbowed.

“Going after every rebound, he copped elbows and he took more charges than anyone I played alongside. I've always admired the way he played.”

"He's just a wonderful young guy,’ Bevo said. “Well, he’s not so young anymore but he’s a beautiful person and everybody loved him.

“He is a warrior, that blue-collar worker who didn’t get massive mentions or accolades but was always in there doing the hard work, and not always the stuff that (gets) stats, like diving on loose balls, setting the screens.

“He’s the teammate everybody wants."

Gladness took over Mckay's job in Spain. Trev in the press conference said they have plenty of bigs in the team. In preseason they ran with waxy at the 5 and tokoto at the 4, can't see why they couldn't do that for spot minutes with a steindl on the floor and try run and gun. I know it hasn't worked for Sydney but really Gaze doesn't have much of a clue

Should have been cut 1 season ago at the minimum.

Thanks Captain Hindsight.

Hindsight is 20/20... except for Knight since he's concussed all the time.

Yes love those that comment when they have no knowledge of the subject.

We obviously do know what we were talking about - otherwise why would a player RETIRE mid-season.
