Landry Shamet Joins New York Knicks On One-Year, Non-Guaranteed Contract
NEW YORK — The New York Knicks have signed veteran guard Landry Shamet to a one-year, partially guaranteed contract, the team announced Tuesday. The 27-year-old sharpshooter joins the Knicks after spending the 2023-24 season with the Washington Wizards. Shamet, a career 38.4% three-point shooter over seven NBA seasons, is expected to provide depth off the bench for a Knicks roster aiming to contend in the Eastern Conference. The deal, which was first reported by multiple league sources, adds a proven perimeter threat to New York’s second unit. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the contract is understood to include a partial guarantee for the upcoming season. Shamet, selected 26th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, has also played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns, and Wizards. Analysts note that Landry Shamet’s ability to stretch the floor could alleviate scoring pressure on starters Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. The move comes as the Knicks continue to reshape their roster heading into training camp.
