Knicks Guard Landry Shamet Injured, Exits Game Against Magic

URGENT UPDATE: New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet has exited the game against the Orlando Magic due to a serious right shoulder injury. The incident occurred with 9:17 remaining in the first quarter when Shamet collided with a screen set by Wendell Carter Jr. while defending Jalen Suggs.

Shamet immediately showed signs of distress, leaving the court with his right arm hanging limply and heading straight to the locker room. Early reports indicate he will not return for the remainder of the game, raising concerns about his condition.

This injury is particularly concerning as Shamet previously dislocated his right shoulder during the preseason in October 2024. He had been enjoying a standout performance lately, scoring in double figures in four consecutive games prior to this outing. His recent highlight included a remarkable 36-point game in a thrilling 140-132 victory over the Miami Heat.

In the last game against the Dallas Mavericks, although he scored only 9 points in 23 minutes, Shamet contributed significantly in the closing moments, hitting two crucial three-pointers in the final minute and drawing a critical charging foul to help secure the win.

Additionally, the Knicks reported that teammate Miles McBride is questionable for the game due to illness, compounding the team’s injury woes. Knicks fans are anxiously awaiting further updates on Shamet’s condition, particularly as the team navigates a competitive season.

Stay tuned for more updates on Shamet’s injury status and how this will impact the Knicks moving forward. This incident adds a layer of urgency for the Knicks as they face the Magic tonight.
