According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks and Shams Charania, the New York Knicks are waiving Landry Shamet after he suffered a dislocated right shoulder.

The 27-year-old agreed to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract earlier in the offseason; many within the organization expected him to make the roster and have quality minutes. However, this injury has derailed those plans.

New York has three roster spots available; they must sign two players to meet the required 14-player roster.

When Shamet gets healthy, they will consider bringing him back.

According to The Athletic’s Fred Katz, the New York Knicks will most likely keep Landry Shamet on their roster after having him go through a roster battle with other players.

Since New York is up against the hard cap, they’ll only be able to get Shamet and a rookie on a minimum salary on their roster.

“I don’t make the final decision on that, but I’m basing it on what [Shamet’s] done on the floor. He’s really done well,” Thibodeau said.

Tom Thibodeau loved what he saw from Shamet and wants him on the roster. An official decision should be made soon.

According to Marc Stein, the New York Knicks and Mikal Bridges will pause contract talks until the end of this upcoming season.

Bridges will be eligible for a four-year, $157 million extension next offseason; for this offseason/preseason, he was eligible to sign a two-year, $72.5 million extension that started on October 1st. However, multiple reports indicate he is not interested in it.

The 28-year-old is waiting until next offseason for more flexibility of years that puts him in a better position to negotiate a long-term contract. It is also due to the league’s six-month rule, where players are limited to four total years under contract during the first six months after a trade.

In 2026-27, Bridges will be an unrestricted free agent. He will be 30 years of age by that time. He’ll be making $23.3 million this season and then $24.9 million the following season.
