New York Knicks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet (shoulder) is likely to miss an extended period of time. The 27-year-old suffered a right shoulder injury during Tuesday's preseason contest. It was later revealed that Shamet is dealing with a dislocated right shoulder and will be evaluated at a later time. The fact the Knicks didn't give a timetable for Shamet's return means he'll probably be sidelined for the foreseeable future. His absence isn't going to mean much considering he was 4th on the depth chart. Tyler Kolek and Cameron Payne could see an uptick with Shamet sidelined, but it probably won't mean much for fantasy hoops.

New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet suffered an apparent right shoulder injury in Tuesday's preseason contest against Charlotte. The veteran sharpshooter was hurt in the third quarter after putting up eight points in 20 minutes with 3-for-10 shooting. Shamet has a non-guaranteed contract but was expected to make the Knicks roster for the 2024-25 campaign. The six-year veteran is valuable for his three-point shooting ability, hitting 38.4 percent of his attempts across 348 career NBA appearances. However, the shoulder injury could force Shamet to miss a large chunk of the upcoming season.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (illness) is available ahead of Sunday's preseason matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is good news after McBride sat out of Wednesday's exhibition contest due to a minor illness. His return should mean less playing time for Tyler Kolek on Sunday. McBride averaged 8.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 19.5 minutes per game in 68 games last season for the Knicks. He figures to have a similar role in the rotation this season which should provide deep league value.

New York Knicks point guard Miles McBride missed Wednesday's preseason game against Washington because of an illness. McBride led the team to a 111-109 win over Charlotte in the preseason opener last weekend with 22 points, but he was feeling under the weather ahead of Wednesday's game and couldn't shake off the illness. McBride had some spectacular moments last season, but his fantasy value will be limited as long as the Knicks stay healthy. The 24-year-old needs to recover by Sunday to not miss any further preseason action.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is expected to suit up for the preseason opener on Sunday. Towns was traded to the Knicks in the end of September and is likely to make his team debut here. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said he plans on playing his starters, but didn't say how long they'd play. It's unlikely he pushes his starter too hard in an exhibition game, but at least Knicks fans will get to see their first taste of Towns.
