Coming in with three appearances to his credit thus far, New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet left Tuesday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets with a right arm injury.

During the third quarter, Shamet appeared to injure his right arm deflecting the ball on defense, as a Hornets player soared for a driving layup. He went right to the locker room in significant pain, per Ian Begley on X, formerly Twitter.

The Knicks defeated the Hornets 111-105, with Shamet chipping in for eight points and two rebounds. New York and the Golden State Warriors are the last unbeaten teams in the NBA preseason. Precious Achiuwa led the way for the Knicks with 20 points and 16 rebounds.

Averaging 10.7 points per game over four appearances as a member of the Knicks, Shamet is expected to be a huge role player for a team on the rise in the 2024-25 season. He's drilled at least a pair of threes in each game to this point. His sharpshooting prowess, and adequate size for a combo guard at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, he has been a proper addition to the Knicks during their preseason perfection, and that should continue to translate to the regular season.

Although he's been a journeyman for most of his NBA career, Shamet has been an impactful role player on each of his five teams before joining the Knicks. He played 61 games for the Brooklyn Nets in the 2020-21 season, so he's no stranger to the Big Apple. And it's seemed to have helped him make the successful transition to the Knicks' loaded roster.

Shamet and the Knicks return to preseason action on October 18. Shamet would get his first attempt at besting his former Washington Wizards team, but the Knicks will likely monitor his ailment in the upcoming days to fully determine his status.
