New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet (shoulder) is likely to miss an extended period of time. The 27-year-old suffered a right shoulder injury during Tuesday's preseason contest. It was later revealed that Shamet is dealing with a dislocated right shoulder and will be evaluated at a later time. The fact the Knicks didn't give a timetable for Shamet's return means he'll probably be sidelined for the foreseeable future. His absence isn't going to mean much considering he was 4th on the depth chart. Tyler Kolek and Cameron Payne could see an uptick with Shamet sidelined, but it probably won't mean much for fantasy hoops.
New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet suffered an apparent right shoulder injury in Tuesday's preseason contest against Charlotte. The veteran sharpshooter was hurt in the third quarter after putting up eight points in 20 minutes with 3-for-10 shooting. Shamet has a non-guaranteed contract but was expected to make the Knicks roster for the 2024-25 campaign. The six-year veteran is valuable for his three-point shooting ability, hitting 38.4 percent of his attempts across 348 career NBA appearances. However, the shoulder injury could force Shamet to miss a large chunk of the upcoming season.
Landry Shamet Joining The Knicks On A One-Year Deal
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, free-agent guard Landry Shamet agreed to a one-year, non-guaranteed deal with the New York Knicks. The 27-year-old has bounced around the National Basketball Association over the years, making stops in Philadelphia, Los Angeles (Clippers), Brooklyn, Phoenix, and most recently, Washington. He appeared in 348 regular-season games for those clubs, averaging 8.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. The Knicks' roster is loaded with talent, so Shamet will likely spend most of his time on the bench, assuming he makes the team. As a result, he won't find his way onto many fantasy rosters in any format ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet has become a free agent after the team declined a $11 million option on his contract. Shamet spent only one season in Washington, averaging 7.1 points in 15.8 minutes. As a three-point specialist, Shamet should receive interest on the open market, although he will definitely have to settle for much less money than the team option he had on his old deal. Shamet has been a 38.4 percent career shooter from deep, averaging 8.7 points across 348 games.
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will miss his eighth straight game on Monday versus the Bulls. Shamet has been shelved with a left calf strain, and it is unknown when he will return. Before missing time, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 46 contests. Washington could potentially have seven players out with injuries for Monday's game, with 27-year-old guard Jordan Poole (ankle) listed as questionable.
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will sit out a fourth straight game on Sunday against Boston. Shamet has been shelved with a left calf strain and will have the opportunity to return on Tuesday against Houston. He's one of seven Washington players out with injuries at present, meaning the team is down to bare bones ahead of a very challenging matchup. Corey Kispert and Jordan Poole should be the head honchos for the Wizards against Boston.
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Saturday versus Chicago. He's dealing with a calf strain, meaning it's looking likely Shamet won't be available for Sunday's clash with Boston either. With Tyus Jones (back) and Deni Avdija (knee) also possibly out on Saturday, Washington's rotation could look very unusual. Jared Butler and Johnny Davis will have a chance to get healthy minutes for once, with Jordan Poole and Corey Kispert getting a larger say on offense against a team that is giving up a league-high 39.7 attempts from three-point range.
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will be absent for a second consecutive game on Thursday versus Houston. The 27-year-old sniper suffered a left calf strain against Miami on Sunday, and it might take a while until he's healthy to play again. Shamet's absence gives the Washington bench around 16 extra minutes to share around. Jordan Poole is the leader of the second unit, even seeing 30-plus occasionally. However, Thursday's matchup isn't a good one for Washington's bench mob on paper, as only four teams have allowed fewer bench points than the Rockets in 2023-24.
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Shamet was forced to miss Friday's game due to the same issue. He was only able to play seven minutes off the bench before exiting due to left calf soreness. There's a decent chance he does miss some time, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update. Johnny Davis figures to see an expanded role if Shamet does miss time.
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will play on Sunday versus Miami. He missed Friday's game against Charlotte because of calf soreness. However, the 26-year-old will return to the lineup after just a one-game absence. Shamet has averaged 7.3 points in 45 games this season. But that's not enough to make him a worthwhile fantasy asset, so he'll likely remain benched in most leagues.
