Injury Update on Landry Shamet
New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet faces an extended period away from the court due to a sprained right shoulder, with a reassessment scheduled for four weeks from now, according to reports from ESPN’s Shams Charania. The injury occurred during the first quarter of a recent matchup against the Orlando Magic when Shamet collided awkwardly with Wendell Carter Jr., leading him to exit the game visibly in discomfort and not return.
Impact of Shamet’s Absence
As he embarks on his rehabilitation journey, Shamet’s absence will undoubtedly be felt, particularly given his impressive performance this season. The young sharpshooter has been excelling with a career-high shooting percentage of 42.4% from three-point range, which significantly contributed to him earning a spot in the Knicks’ starting lineup.
Recent Performance Highlights
Before the injury sidelined him, Shamet was enjoying one of his most productive stretches of gameplay, having achieved double-digit scoring in four consecutive games. This run included a standout performance where he scored 36 points to help secure a 140-132 victory over the Miami Heat. His double-figure streak came to an end when he tallied nine points in 23 minutes during a win against the Dallas Mavericks last week.
Upcoming Games
The Knicks are set to face the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, followed by a home game against the Milwaukee Bucks at Madison Square Garden on Friday night.
