Overview
- ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Shamet has a right shoulder sprain, has begun rehab, and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
- Shamet was injured Saturday in Orlando when he ran into a midcourt screen by Wendell Carter Jr., exiting immediately and not returning.
- He had emerged as a starter, averaging 9.3 points with 42.4% shooting from three across 15 games, including a 36-point outing earlier this season.
- With Shamet out, the Knicks are expected to lean more on Miles McBride—who started Monday—along with Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek.
- His one-year non-guaranteed deal becomes guaranteed in early January, raising a roster decision as New York carries an open spot but has limited room below the second-apron hard cap.
