URGENT UPDATE: New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet has been ruled out for the rest of the game against the Orlando Magic due to a troubling right shoulder injury. The incident occurred just minutes into the first quarter, with 9:17 remaining, when Shamet collided with a screen set by Wendell Carter Jr. while guarding Jalen Suggs.
Witnesses reported Shamet immediately showing signs of distress, leaving the court with his right arm hanging at his side. This injury is particularly concerning as Shamet dislocated his right shoulder during the preseason last year in October 2024.
Shamet had been enjoying a standout stretch, scoring in double figures for four consecutive games, including a remarkable 36-point performance in a 140-132 victory over Miami. His presence on the court has been crucial for the Knicks, especially following a solid outing against Dallas where he contributed significantly in the final moments.
In addition to Shamet’s injury, the Knicks reported that Miles McBride is also questionable for the game due to illness, further complicating the team’s roster situation.
As the game progresses, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely for updates on Shamet’s condition. The Knicks face a challenging road ahead, and his absence could have major implications for their season. Stay tuned for further developments.
