Landry Shamet was cleared Wednesday at 7:10 PM ET, moving off the day-to-day tag he carried earlier that same day. He is available for the Knicks' season opener Thursday against the Raptors.
What happened
Shamet's status changed to Cleared on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 7:10 PM ET. Earlier that same day, the guard had been listed Day-To-Day with a rest-related designation. The injury report lists no further detail on the issue, and no comment was attached to the update. No expected-return timeline was announced, since the clearance means none is needed.
What it means for the Knicks
New York opens its season Thursday at home against the Raptors at 7:30 PM ET, and Shamet's clearance means the Knicks have him available for that opener. Last season he played 51 games at 23.0 minutes, averaging 9.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists, bench scoring the Knicks can again lean on. Several starters, including Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby, also carry rest-related Day-To-Day tags on the same report, so New York's health across the roster bears watching entering opening night. The Knicks are 0-0, since the 2026-27 season has not started, with no games played yet to show a record with or without Shamet on the floor.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Shamet's Cleared status holds into Thursday's opener against the Raptors or whether any of his teammates' Day-To-Day tags change. No expected-return date applies, since he is no longer sidelined. Beyond the opener, the Knicks' following games have not been detailed here.
