Landry Shamet Impressing In Preseason
Landry Shamet has been one of the team's most surprising players this preseason, with Friday's preseason victory over the Mavericks continuing that upward momentum for Shamet. He finished with 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting while shooting 42.9 percent from three. Shamet also had three rebounds and an assist. With the 76ers bench not inspiring as much confidence as their starting unit does, Shamet's continued development could lead to playing time this season. Keep an eye on how head coach Brett Brown uses him once the regular season kicks off.

Landry Shamet Suffers Apparent Shoulder Injury
Landry Shamet suffered an apparent right shoulder injury in Tuesday's preseason contest against Charlotte. The veteran sharpshooter was hurt in the third quarter after putting up eight points in 20 minutes with 3-for-10 shooting. Shamet has a non-guaranteed contract but was expected to make the Knicks roster for the 2024-25 campaign. The six-year veteran is valuable for his three-point shooting ability, hitting 38.4 percent of his attempts across 348 career NBA appearances. However, the shoulder injury could force Shamet to miss a large chunk of the upcoming season.

Landry Shamet Joining The Knicks On A One-Year Deal
Landry Shamet agreed to a one-year, non-guaranteed deal with the New York Knicks. The 27-year-old has bounced around the National Basketball Association over the years, making stops in Philadelphia, Los Angeles (Clippers), Brooklyn, Phoenix, and most recently, Washington. He appeared in 348 regular-season games for those clubs, averaging 8.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. The Knicks' roster is loaded with talent, so Shamet will likely spend most of his time on the bench, assuming he makes the team. As a result, he won't find his way onto many fantasy rosters in any format ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

Landry Shamet Hits Free Agency
Landry Shamet has become a free agent after the team declined a $11 million option on his contract. Shamet spent only one season in Washington, averaging 7.1 points in 15.8 minutes. As a three-point specialist, Shamet should receive interest on the open market, although he will definitely have to settle for much less money than the team option he had on his old deal. Shamet has been a 38.4 percent career shooter from deep, averaging 8.7 points across 348 games.

Landry Shamet Unavailable Monday Versus Bulls
Landry Shamet (calf) will miss his eighth straight game on Monday versus the Bulls. Shamet has been shelved with a left calf strain, and it is unknown when he will return. Before missing time, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 46 contests. Washington could potentially have seven players out with injuries for Monday's game, with 27-year-old guard Jordan Poole (ankle) listed as questionable.
