Knicks' Landry Shamet Leaves With Right-Shoulder Injury, Evaluation Pending

The injury involves the same shoulder he dislocated last preseason.

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.
