Overview
- Landry Shamet agreed to a one‑year return to New York on a reported non‑guaranteed veteran minimum, per multiple outlets.
- New York also signed Garrison Mathews to a training‑camp deal, with reporting indicating he and Shamet will vie for the final regular‑season roster spot.
- SNY reports Shamet had other offers but chose continuity in a locker room he liked to pursue a title run in New York.
- Operating near the second‑apron hard cap, the Knicks have room for one veteran minimum and one rookie minimum unless salary is cleared via trade, per HoopsRumors and the New York Post.
- Shamet’s case is bolstered by his efficient shooting last season and a team‑best +16.5 net rating in the Eastern Conference Finals among regular contributors, per NBA.com.
