Knicks’ Landry Shamet Exits Early With Apparent Shoulder Injury
Hey everyone, some breaking news from Madison Square Garden tonight—Knicks’ guard Landry Shamet had to leave the court early during their matchup against the Orlando Magic. What happened was a collision with Wendell Carter Jr. on a pick-and-roll play, and Shamet was immediately seen favoring his right arm. The moment he got hit, he was called for a foul, but more importantly, he didn’t stay in the game—he headed straight to the locker room with 9:17 left in the first quarter.
It’s an early concern because Shamet, the 28-year-old swingman, has been a significant contributor for New York this season. If he’s unable to return tonight, the team will likely lean on Jordan Clarkson, Miles McBride, and Josh Hart to pick up the extra minutes. Shamet’s absence could definitely shake up the rotation and impact the Knicks’ offensive rhythm, especially given his recent form.

This isn’t the first time Shamet has made headlines this season. Just over a week ago, he put up a career-high 36 points against Miami, showing just how much scoring punch he can provide when he’s on his game. He’s also bounced between starting and coming off the bench, depending on the matchup, which makes him a flexible piece for the Knicks. His injury tonight will test the depth and resilience of the roster, particularly with back-to-back games and a tough schedule ahead.
The team hasn’t released an official update yet on the severity of the injury, but fans are understandably concerned. Shoulder injuries can be tricky, and even a short-term absence could affect both Shamet’s rhythm and the team’s chemistry on the floor. Knicks coach and staff will likely be monitoring him closely, and the plan for the rest of the game will hinge on how he feels after evaluation.
So, for now, Knicks fans will be keeping a close eye on updates. If Shamet is sidelined, it’ll be interesting to see how the rest of the roster adjusts, and who steps up in his absence. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious and he can get back on the court quickly, because his scoring and playmaking have been valuable for New York.
It’s definitely a tense moment for the Knicks, but the team has depth, and we’ll see how they respond in the game against Orlando. I’ll keep you posted as more details about Shamet’s condition come in.
