Kevin Knox’s brothers, Kobe and Karter, also followed in his footsteps in basketball. Unlike him in the NBA, one is in college while the other is in high school.
The NBA star who comes from an athletic family background is the eldest child of his parents (Kevin and Michelle Knox). Besides being a loving brother, he is also a mentor & a rival for his younger brothers.
Fans anticipate the spectacular event if the three Knox brothers would be on the common court of the NBA court.
Kevin Knox II, an Arizona-born and Florida-raised American basketball power forward, plays for the Detroit Pistons (2023- present) in the NBA.
They signed him on the rest-of-season contract worth $2.14 million for the 2023-24 season.
He joins the Pistons players like Bojan Bogdanovic, Joe Harris, Marvin Bagley III, and Cade Cunningham, among others.
Knox was the 9th overall pick of the Knicks in the 2018 NBA draft, straight out of University of Kentucky.
In his rookie season, he scored his career-high 31 points with seven rebounds in a 103-108 loss to the 76ers on January 13, 2019.
Amid his third season, he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks where he spent the rest of the 2021-22 season. After that, he would split his 2022-23 season with the Pistons and Trail Blazers.
Kevin Knox Brother: Meet Kobe And Karter Knox- Age Gap
Knox II, the Pistons small forward/power forward, is the eldest of four kids. He has two younger brothers, Kobe and Karter Knox, and a youngest sister, Ashley.
His brother, Kobe, was named after late NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
Like Kevin, his siblings are into basketball, but none have landed in the NBA yet except him. So, for his brothers & sister, he stands as a figure to look for.
Born on August 11, 1999, the Kentucky Wildcats alum is 24 years old as of 2024.
His younger brother Kobe was born on July 26, 2002, which makes his age 21 now.
On the other, the youngest of three brothers (second-youngest of four kids), Karter (b. May 16, 2005) is 18 years old.
The three Knox brothers have an age gap of nearly three years with each other. Kevin is two years & 11 months older than Kobe, and 5 years & nine months older than Karter.
The NBA player’s youngest sibling, sister Ashley, born on February 19, 2008, is 16 years old. She is nine years younger than Kevin.

All siblings of Kevin II play basketball and they are also attendants of his alma mater, Tampa Catholic High School.
The second-eldest, Kobe, currently plays as a guard for the University of South Florida men’s basketball team.
The 6 feet 5 inches tall player joined the South Florida Bulls on May 13, 2023, as a redshirt sophomore transfer.
Earlier, he attended Grand Canyon University, where he averaged 5.3 points per game, 1.7 rebounds, and 40 assists, scoring a career-high 21 points in the 2022-23 season.
