The New York Knicks have been without veteran guard Landry Shamet for the past five games due to a right knee contusion. However, Shamet has recently returned to practice and could potentially make his return in the Knicks' upcoming game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Why it matters
Shamet's return would be a boost for the Knicks, who have lost three straight games and are looking to climb out of their current slump. As a veteran sharpshooter, Shamet's presence on the floor could provide an offensive spark for the team.
The details
Shamet suffered the right knee contusion on March 20 against the Brooklyn Nets, where he played 21 minutes and scored 3 points before exiting the game. He has missed the Knicks' last five games as he has been recovering from the injury.
