Knicks Re-Sign Landry Shamet After Injury

Landry Shamet, a 27-year-old guard, experienced a painful dislocated shoulder injury just days before final roster cuts, leaving him unable to play and eventually leading to his waiver by the Knicks. Despite the setback, Shamet chose a rigorous rehabilitation path over surgery, which allowed him to return to the team within two months. His recovery process involved intense physical pain and mental challenges, yet he made a successful comeback, scoring in limited minutes during games. Recently, he signed a one-year deal to rejoin the Knicks after demonstrating his skills in the G-League, where he averaged over 10 points per game. The Knicks hope Shamet’s return will bolster their inconsistent bench scoring as they continue their season. His determination and hard work in recovery underscore his commitment to the team and the game.
