What happened
The Knicks listed Landry Shamet as day-to-day on Wednesday's 4:53 p.m. ET injury report, with the detail marked rest/other. No previous status was attached to the entry. The report's comment pointed to his most recent outing, a 111-109 preseason loss to the Wizards, in which Shamet scored 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including 3-of-4 from three-point range, with two made free throws and four rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench. His expected return date is listed as October 15.
What it means for the Knicks
New York is back in action Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET against the Raptors, and Shamet's expected return date lines up with that game. Last season he averaged 9.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 23.0 minutes across 51 games, working mainly as a bench shooter. If he sits, the bench scoring load has fallen to Miles McBride (26.3 minutes, 12.0 points) and Jordan Clarkson (17.8 minutes, 8.6 points) in recent box scores, with the starting group of Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns carrying the larger minutes. The Knicks are 0-0, with the 2026-27 season not yet underway.

No further games beyond the Raptors matchup are addressed here.
