While Devin Booker and Cam Johnson aren’t coming back any time soon, fans do have some hope for Monday’s game against the Knicks. The hope is what? Landry Shamet and Cam Payne are listed as probable for their game against New York.
Shamet, sore achilles tendon, and Johnson, sore foot, will most likely play; barring any setbacks, we should be seeing a semi-healthy Suns team.
Payne has missed the Suns’ last nine games. Shamet has missed the last three games. Over the course of missing these players, Phoenix has gone 4-6 over the past ten games.
The game begins tomorrow at 1 PM Arizona Time. Still no Booker, Crowder, and Johnson; however, with Johnson, he has been ramping up his on-court load. While not being cleared for contact, these are the right steps being taken for his must-needed return.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks and Landry Shamet have agreed on a one-year deal. This will see him have another season with New York.
Last season saw the 28-year-old appear in 50 games and average 5.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.
New York throughout the offseason has acquired backcourt depth in Shamet, Jordan Clarkson, and Malcolm Brogdon.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks and Malcolm Brogdon have agreed to a one-year contract.
This will be his tenth season in the league, as last season saw him playing with the Washington Wizards. Since winning Sixth Man of the Year in 2022-23, Brogdon has only played in 63 games.
Due to his injury history, New York will have the 32-year-old come off the bench in a more limited capacity to try to save his life span throughout the season.
According to multiple reports, the Miami Heat are looking to address their frontcourt depth needs and they have locked eyes on potentially acquiring Precious Achiuwa.
Both sides have mutual interest in one another, as the 25-year-old wrapped up his one-year, $6 million contract with the New York Knicks.
Last season saw a slight dip in statistical productivity from Achiuwa, as he was down in both points and rebounds.
If Miami were to waive Terry Rozier, then they would have enough room to sign a player like Achiuwa. They currently don’t have enough room for even a veteran minimum contract signing.
