Overview
- Shamet exited three minutes into Saturday’s loss in Orlando after a collision with Wendell Carter Jr. and was listed out for Monday’s game against the Nets with a right shoulder injury.
- Head coach Mike Brown said Shamet will undergo additional testing and be reevaluated in the coming days, with no timetable provided.
- Reports note the injury involves the same shoulder Shamet dislocated in the 2024 preseason, prompting concern about a possible recurrence pending medical results.
- The guard has been a key rotation piece, averaging about 9.3 points on 42.4% from three, including a 36-point game earlier this month.
- New York’s depth is stretched with OG Anunoby sidelined, Josh Hart expected to absorb minutes, Miles McBride not listed on the Nets game injury report, and Shamet’s contract not fully guaranteed until early January potentially factoring into roster decisions if a lengthy absence is projected.
