Knicks' Landry Shamet Suffers Shoulder Injury

Landry Shamet of the New York Knicks suffered a serious right shoulder injury during a preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets, leading to his immediate departure to the locker room. The injury occurred while he was defending against Moussa Diabate, and Shamet was seen later wearing a sling. His absence is significant for the Knicks, as he was expected to be a key addition to their bench rotation, especially after the team traded Donte DiVincenzo. If Shamet's injury is long-term, the Knicks could waive him under his non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract, which carries a $15,000 cap hit, and potentially seek to add another veteran player. Rookie Pacome Dadiet took advantage of the situation, scoring 16 points in the game, while the Knicks consider options to fill Shamet's role if needed.
