Knicks guard Landry Shamet exits with shoulder injury

by

ORLANDO — New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet was ruled out for the remainder of the game against the Orlando Magic because of a right shoulder injury Saturday.

While guarding Jalen Suggs at midcourt, Shamet ran into a screen set by Wendell Carter Jr. Shamet was in immediate pain and went to the locker room while favoring his right arm with 9:17 remaining in the first quarter.

Shamet was ruled out early in the second quarter against Orlando.

Shamet, who dislocated his right shoulder during the preseason in October 2024, was coming off his best five-game stretch for the Knicks this season. He had four straight games of scoring in double figures, including a 36-point effort in a 140-132 win over Miami before snapping that streak with nine points in 23 minutes in a win over Dallas last Wednesday.

Shamet, though, hit a pair of 3s in the final 1:02 and drew a critical charging foul in the final second to help the Knicks outlast the Mavericks.

The Knicks also said Miles McBride was questionable for the game because of illness.
