Shamet (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.
The Knicks are listing Shamet as out with a right shoulder sprain, though he's still expected to undergo further evaluation after sustaining the injury in Saturday's loss to the Magic. With the 28-year-old swingman sidelined, Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson and Josh Hart are candidates for increased minutes. Shamet can be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hornets until the Knicks provide an update on his status.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Starting Monday
Rotowire
Shamet will start Monday's game against the Heat, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
With Jalen Brunson (ankle) and OG Anunoby (hamstring) sidelined, Shamet will rejoin the starting five. The eighth-year swingman is fresh off a career-high 36-point performance off the bench in Friday's win over Miami. Over three starts this season, he has averaged 12.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per contest.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Career-high 36 points vs. Miami
Rotowire
Shamet supplied 36 points (12-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three assists and two rebounds over 37 minutes during New York's 140-132 win over Miami on Friday.
Shamet was already slated for an expanded role for Friday's game after Jalen Brunson (ankle) was ruled out, but the former was relied on even more heavily after OG Anunoby was forced to leave in the first quarter due to a hamstring injury. Karl-Anthony Towns gave the Knicks their 10-point halftime lead by scoring 31 of his game-high 39 points through the first two quarters, but it was Shamet who helped New York close things out with 30 of his 36 points coming in the second half. The 36 points are a career high for Shamet and the fourth 30-point outing of his eight-year NBA tenure. Brunson may not travel with the Knicks during their upcoming five-game road trip, and if Anunoby were to miss time due to his injury, then role players like Shamet, Jordan Clarkson, Miles McBride and others would be poised for bigger roles on both ends of the floor.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Starting Monday
Rotowire
Shamet will enter the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Wizards, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Shamet is getting the start with Mitchell Robinson (rest) taking the night off, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer option with a favorable matchup against the Wizards. In his previous start this season, Shamet produced 16 points, three rebounds, one assist, four triples, one steal and just one turnover across 30 minutes of floor time.

Knicks' Landry Shamet: Headed to bench
Rotowire
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.

Shamet will start in Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

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.

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.
