The New York Knicks are dealing with a growing injury problem as they prepare to face the Washington Wizards. Landry Shamet has been ruled out with a right knee issue, while Josh Hart is listed as questionable with right knee patellofemoral syndrome. The Knicks, sitting third in the Eastern Conference, can ill afford to lose more key pieces with the playoffs approaching and a tough road schedule still ahead.

Meanwhile, Hart has been dealing with right knee patellofemoral syndrome, commonly known as runner's knee, and is listed as questionable.
- Shamet was injured during the Knicks' game against the Nets on March 21, 2026.
