Knicks Waive Landry Shamet Following Preseason Shoulder Injury

The New York Knicks released guard Landry Shamet after he dislocated his shoulder, with plans to potentially re-sign him post-recovery.

Landry Shamet suffered a dislocated right shoulder during a preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Shamet was on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract, allowing the Knicks to waive him while only owing $15,000.
Despite being waived, the Knicks intend to re-sign Shamet once he recovers from his injury.
The Knicks are currently operating under tight salary cap constraints, being $3.6 million below the second luxury tax apron.
New York plans to start the season with 12 players on guaranteed contracts, exploring options to fill the remaining roster spots.
