Overview
- Shamet will be reevaluated in four weeks after tests confirmed a sprained right shoulder, and he has already begun rehab work.
- He was injured Saturday against the Magic, exited that game, missed Monday’s win over the Nets, and was ruled out for Wednesday at Charlotte.
- The injury affects the same shoulder he dislocated in the 2024 preseason, though the current plan does not call for surgery.
- Before the setback, he averaged 9.3 points in 20.9 minutes with six starts and a career-best 42.4% from three.
- With Shamet sidelined, New York is expected to lean more on Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson, and Tyler Kolek, while an open roster spot remains constrained by second-apron hard-cap limits.
