Knicks' Landry Shamet Faces Indefinite Sideline with Dislocated Shoulder

The injury complicates the Knicks' roster strategy amid salary cap constraints as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Landry Shamet suffered a dislocated right shoulder during a preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets, leaving his return date uncertain.
The Knicks are evaluating the injury with hopes Shamet can avoid surgery, though his absence impacts the team's depth.
Shamet was expected to play a key role off the bench after the Knicks traded for Karl-Anthony Towns, which reduced their roster depth.
The team's financial situation is tight, with only $3.58 million in cap space, influencing decisions about retaining Shamet on the roster.
Options include waiving Shamet to free up a roster spot, with the possibility of re-signing him post-recovery, as his contract limits financial liability.
