Shamet will come off the bench for Friday's game in Chicago, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Shamet was able to earn a spot-start Tuesday with both Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Miles McBride (personal) missing in action, but those two will return for Friday's game, which will significantly impact Shamet's minutes. He tends to only see minutes in the low-teens as a reserve, so he's not worth deploying in most formats.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Scores 16 points in spot start
Rotowire
Shamet had 16 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Bucks.
Shamet moved into the starting lineup, scoring a season-high 16 points, including four triples. While this was an encouraging performance, he was coming off a game in which he failed to score, highlighting his inconsistencies. It is unclear whether he will remain in the starting lineup, making him a tough player to trust. At best, he should be viewed as a potential three-point streaming candidate, if and when his playing time increases beyond 20 minutes.

Rotowire
Shamet will start in Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
With both Miles McBride (personal) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined once again, Shamet will enter the starting lineup in place of Ariel Hukporti. Over three regular-season games, Shamet has averaged 4.0 points while shooting 30.0 percent from the field in 14.3 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Shamet finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 16 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 loss to Miami.
Shamet was unable to capitalize on Miles McBride's (personal) absence Sunday, but seems to still have a role among the bench unit even when McBride has played. Shamet's next opportunity to bounce back will be Tuesday against the Bucks.

Rotowire
Shamet (illness) supplied 11 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 20 minutes in Friday's 113-108 preseason win over the Hornets.
Shamet delivered an efficient performance from beyond the arc and was one of five Knicks players to score in double figures. The 28-year-old swingman signed an Exhibit 9 contract with New York in September and is likely to make the regular-season roster.

Rotowire
Shamet finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason win over the 76ers.
Shamet failed to make an impact during the preseason opener while playing 17 minutes off the bench. Much like Malcolm Brogdon, it is uncertain what role Shamet will have on the team, even though both players are expected to make the final roster.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Likely to make Opening Night roster
Rotowire
Shamet is expected to make the Knicks' Opening Night roster, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Shamet signed an Exhibit 9 contract with New York prior to training camp, and the club will now seek to make corresponding moves to get the sharpshooter on the roster to open the new season. The Knicks also added veterans Malcolm Brogdon and Jordan Clarkson this offseason, leaving Shamet in position to likely fight for scraps off the bench. Shamet averaged 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 15.2 minutes per game over 50 regular-season outings in 2024-25.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Signs Exhibit 9 deal
Rotowire
Shamet's one-year deal with the Knicks is an Exhibit 9 contract, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Malcolm Brogdon also signed an Exhibit 9 contract, giving the Knicks financial protection in case of injury. The Knicks currently have one roster spot available, and Brogdon is likely the favorite of the two to claim the last spot. It's possible the Knicks could clear up another roster spot, however.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Inks deal with New York
Rotowire
The Knicks signed Shamet to a one-year contract Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Shamet returns to the storied franchise after playing in 50 regular-season games with the squad during the 2024-25 campaign. The veteran guard posted career-low numbers across the board last season, averaging 5.7 points and 1.2 rebounds across 15.2 minutes per game. However, he shot a career-high 46.1 percent from the floor and shot well from beyond the arc, posting his second-highest career percentage from deep at 39.7 percent. With the addition of Jordan Clarkson to the backcourt and Mike Brown replacing Tom Thibodeau as head coach, it remains to be seen what role Shamet will have in New York moving forward.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Paces bench in loss
Rotowire
Shamet ended Saturday's 125-108 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and two assists in 16 minutes.
Shamet logged double-digit minutes for the fourth straight game after receiving two DNPs due to a coach's decision in the first two games of the 4-2 series loss to Indiana. During the series, the 28-year-old averaged 5.8 points and 1.8 assists across 13.0 minutes per contest. Shamet is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason after finishing the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.5 steals across 15.2 minutes per game in 50 regular-season appearances off the bench.

Rotowire
Shamet closed Thursday's 111-94 win over the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 14 minutes.
Shamet continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having suited up for just 10 games thus far during the postseason. He is yet to see more than 15 minutes in any game, scoring a total of 14 points during that span. New York will now travel to Indiana for Game 6, which is another must-win game for the Knicks.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Goes for 29 in win
Rotowire
Shamet posted 29 points (9-17 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and a steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 win over the Nets.
Shamet was given the green light Sunday as the team rested its starters for the regular-season finale and he took full advantage, recording season highs in points, three-pointers made and minutes played. Despite the strong performance, Shamet will likely see a modest role going forward as the team shifts its sights to postseason action.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Scores nine points in loss
Rotowire
Shamet chipped in nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two assists across 15 minutes during Thursday's 115-106 loss to the Pistons.
Although the Knicks were without Josh Hart (knee) and OG Anunoby (thumb) for the front end of this back-to-back set, Shamet didn't see much run. Instead, Miles McBride drew the start and put up a strong showing in 39 minutes.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Erupts for 20 points
Rotowire
Shamet totaled 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 victory over the 76ers.
Shamet recorded season-high marks in points (20) and three-pointers (6), although this looks like an outlier performance. The Knicks will be shorthanded again Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to Jalen Brunson (ankle), Miles McBride (groin) and Cameron Payne (ankle) all still being out, so Shamet will likely continue to see healthy workloads.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Top scorer off bench in victory
Rotowire
Shamet posted 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes in Sunday's 110-93 win over Portland.
Shamet shined offensively off the bench in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high trio of threes and leading all Knicks bench players in scoring in a double-digit effort. Shamet matched a season high in threes made with a mark he has now recorded in five outings. He has reached double figures in scoring on five occasions, including in three of his last five contests.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Scoreless in 19 minutes
Rotowire
Shamet supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 loss to Charlotte.
Jalen Brunson (ankle) ditched his walking boot and was able to do some light shooting Thursday, suggesting he's nearing a return, but he still doesn't have an official return timetable. Despite playing 21.4 minutes per contest over his last four games, Shamet has been very quiet with 3.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Plays well off bench
Rotowire
Shamet closed with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals over 24 minutes during Monday's 133-104 win over the Kings.
With Jalen Brunson (ankle) expected to miss a couple weeks, Shamet could continue to see a larger role in the second unit while Miles McBride fills in as the starter. This performance was a bit of an outlier, however, as Shamet was able to take advantage of some garbage time in the blowout win -- 10 of Shamet's points came in the fourth quarter.
