Knight, a native of Tasmania, began playing basketball in his hometown of Burnie as a youth. After a year at the Australian Institute of Sport in 2003, Knight ventured to the United States where he played four years of college basketball for Loyola Marymount University (LMU). After graduating from LMU, Knight joined the NBL ranks and had a two-year stint with the West Sydney Razorbacks / Sydney Spirit between 2007 and 2009. With the demise of the Spirit following the 2008–09 season, Knight moved to Europe and played one season in Hungary for Soproni KC. Knight returned to the NBL in 2010 and joined the Perth Wildcats. He made a home for himself in Perth and quickly earned a reputation as one of the best big men in the league. With the Wildcats, Knight became a four-time All-NBL Team member and a three-time NBL champion (2014, 2016 and 2017). Knight endured a long list of injuries during his tenure with the Wildcats, having struggled with calf, shoulder, ankle and toe complaints, as well as suffering a number of concussion-related incidents. Three head knocks early on in the 2017–18 season led to Knight announcing his retirement from the NBL on 6 November 2017.
