Landry Shamet Competes for Knicks' Final Roster Spot in Veteran Battle

Landry Shamet is actively competing for the New York Knicks' last available roster spot, alongside Malcolm Brogdon and Garrison Mathews. The Knicks currently have 14 players on standard contracts and can carry a maximum of 15, but financial limitations mean they can only afford to keep one of the three veterans. Head coach Mike Brown described the decision as 'extremely tough.' The team has explored trading players like Miles McBride, Pacome Dadiet, or Tyler Kolek to create space for two veterans. The final decision on Shamet and the other contenders is anticipated by Saturday at 5 PM, the deadline for waiving players on non-guaranteed deals.
