Overview
- Shamet exited three minutes into the loss in Orlando after shoulder-to-shoulder contact with Wendell Carter Jr. while fighting through a screen.
- Head coach Mike Brown said the guard will undergo a full evaluation in the coming days and offered no timetable for his return.
- Shamet will travel with the team to New York for Monday’s game in Brooklyn as the medical staff assesses the injury.
- The Knicks previously waived Shamet after his preseason dislocation last year and later re-signed him once he recovered.
- Shamet has been a key bench scorer with strong three-point shooting and a recent 36-point game, and with OG Anunoby out and Miles McBride ill, analysts say his uncertainty heightens pressure to bolster the second unit.
