Knicks Guard Landry Shamet Exits Game with Shoulder Injury

URGENT UPDATE: New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet has been ruled out for the remainder of the game against the Orlando Magic due to a right shoulder injury sustained just 9:17 into the first quarter. This alarming development occurred when Shamet collided with a screen set by Wendell Carter Jr. while guarding Jalen Suggs, leaving him in immediate pain as he exited the court with his right arm dangling.

Shamet’s injury raises significant concerns, particularly as he had been enjoying a breakout performance with the Knicks, highlighted by a stunning 36-point game against Miami just days prior. This injury marks a troubling turn for Shamet, who dislocated his right shoulder during the preseason in October 2024.

The Knicks confirmed Shamet’s absence early in the second quarter, leaving fans anxious about the severity of his injury. His recent form had been crucial for the team’s success, as he was on a streak of four consecutive games scoring in double figures before his recent setback against Dallas, where he managed 9 points in 23 minutes.

Adding to the Knicks’ challenges, Miles McBride has been listed as questionable for the game due to illness. Fans are left holding their breath as they await further updates on both Shamet’s condition and the team’s performance moving forward.
