NEW YORK — On Nov. 26, 2025, guard Landry Shamet received an encouraging medical update, indicating that his recovery is moving in the right direction. While the news eases immediate health concerns, it still forces the New York Knicks to decide how best to adjust their rotation once he is cleared to play.
Details of Shamet’s exact timeline were not disclosed, but the positive outlook suggests he could return sooner than originally projected. The Knicks must now weigh whether to maintain their current back-court alignment or make room for Shamet as soon as he becomes available.
The roster conundrum underscores the delicate balance between protecting a recovering player and sustaining momentum during a long NBA season.
