Landry Shamet Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Knicks vs Raptors game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 26, 2025
Out for at least four weeks
Shamet (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet sustained a right shoulder sprain in Saturday's loss to the Magic, and he's now facing a lengthy absence. The veteran sharpshooter's timetable suggests his earliest possible return date is the Dec. 25 matchup against the Cavaliers, but he could se sidelined until the new year. With Shamet on the shelf, Miles McBride and Jordan Clarkson are both worth monitoring in fantasy leagues.
Nov 25, 2025
Listed out for Wednesday
Shamet is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets with a sprained right shoulder.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks are going to be without the veteran sharpshooter for a second straight game. Shamet's next chance to return comes Friday against the Bucks. Miles McBride started in the backcourt alongside Jalen Brunson on Monday versus the Nets and should continue to do so until Shamet is cleared to return.
Nov 23, 2025
Ruled out for Monday
Shamet (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks are listing Shamet as out with a right shoulder sprain, though he's still expected to undergo further evaluation after sustaining the injury in Saturday's loss to the Magic. With the 28-year-old swingman sidelined, Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson and Josh Hart are candidates for increased minutes. Shamet can be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hornets until the Knicks provide an update on his status.
Nov 22, 2025
To be evaluated soon
Head coach Mike Brown said after Saturday's 133-121 loss to the Magic that Shamet (shoulder) will be evaluated in "the next couple days," Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet collided with an opposing player and sustained a right shoulder injury in the first quarter of Saturday's contest. He can be considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets until the Knicks provide an update on his status. In the likely event that the 28-year-old swingman misses additional time, Miles McBride (illness), Jordan Clarkson and Josh Hart are candidates for increased playing time moving forward.
Nov 22, 2025
Won't return Saturday
Shamet (shoulder) won't return to Saturday's game against the Magic, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet collided with an opposing player and immediately left for the locker room early in the first quarter due to a right shoulder injury. He'll finish with two assists in three minutes. With the 28-year-old swingman ruled out and Miles McBride (illness) questionable to play, Jordan Clarkson, Tyler Kolek and Josh Hart are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way. The Knicks are expected to provide an update on Shamet's status for Monday's game against the Nets by Sunday night.
Nov 22, 2025
Exits to locker room vs. Orlando
Shamet exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent right shoulder injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet collided with an opposing player and immediately headed back to the locker room with 9:17 remaining in the first quarter. If the 28-year-old swingman is unable to return, Jordan Clarkson, Miles McBride and Josh Hart are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.
Nov 17, 2025
Starting Monday
Shamet will start Monday's game against the Heat, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
With Jalen Brunson (ankle) and OG Anunoby (hamstring) sidelined, Shamet will rejoin the starting five. The eighth-year swingman is fresh off a career-high 36-point performance off the bench in Friday's win over Miami. Over three starts this season, he has averaged 12.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per contest.
Nov 14, 2025
Career-high 36 points vs. Miami
Shamet supplied 36 points (12-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three assists and two rebounds over 37 minutes during New York's 140-132 win over Miami on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was already slated for an expanded role for Friday's game after Jalen Brunson (foot) was ruled out, but the former was relied on even more heavily after OG Anunoby was forced to leave in the first quarter due to a hamstring injury. Karl-Anthony Towns gave the Knicks their 10-point halftime lead by scoring 31 of his game-high 39 points through the first two quarters, but it was Shamet who helped New York close things out with 30 of his 36 points coming in the second half. The 36 points are a career high for Shamet and the fourth 30-point outing of his eight-year NBA tenure. Brunson may not travel with the Knicks during their upcoming five-game road trip, and if Anunoby were to miss time due to his injury, then role players like Shamet, Jordan Clarkson, Miles McBride and others would be poised for bigger roles on both ends of the floor.
Nov 12, 2025
Moving to bench Wednesday
Shamet won't start Wednesday's game against the Magic, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) back in action, Shamet will slide to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 28-year-old guard has averaged 4.8 points while shooting 33.3 percent from the field in 16.4 minutes per game.
Nov 12, 2025
Scores 10 points in spot start
Shamet amassed 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Shamet moved into the starting lineup after it was announced that Mitchell Robinson would be sitting out the first game of a back-to-back set as part of his injury-management plan. Shamet has now started three games this season, averaging 12.3 points and 2.7 three-pointers per contest. While he can be used as a three-point streamer, his lack of upside makes him quite unappealing.
Nov 11, 2025
Starting sans Robinson
Shamet will start Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined for the front end of the Knicks' back-to-back set, Shamet will get the starting nod Tuesday. Over two starts this season, the 28-year-old guard has averaged 13.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per contest.
Nov 5, 2025
Moves back to bench
Shamet won't start Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Shamet made a spot start last time out while Mitchell Robinson was rested, and the veteran guard will return to his standard bench role Wednesday. He is averaging 5.0 points and 1.6 rebounds across 15.4 minutes per game as a reserve this season.
Nov 3, 2025
Starting Monday
Shamet will enter the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Wizards, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is getting the start with Mitchell Robinson (rest) taking the night off, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer option with a favorable matchup against the Wizards. In his previous start this season, Shamet produced 16 points, three rebounds, one assist, four triples, one steal and just one turnover across 30 minutes of floor time.
Oct 31, 2025
Headed to bench
Shamet will come off the bench for Friday's game in Chicago, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was able to earn a spot-start Tuesday with both Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Miles McBride (personal) missing in action, but those two will return for Friday's game, which will significantly impact Shamet's minutes. He tends to only see minutes in the low-teens as a reserve, so he's not worth deploying in most formats.
Oct 29, 2025
Scores 16 points in spot start
Shamet had 16 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet moved into the starting lineup, scoring a season-high 16 points, including four triples. While this was an encouraging performance, he was coming off a game in which he failed to score, highlighting his inconsistencies. It is unclear whether he will remain in the starting lineup, making him a tough player to trust. At best, he should be viewed as a potential three-point streaming candidate, if and when his playing time increases beyond 20 minutes.
Oct 28, 2025
Starting Tuesday
Shamet will start in Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
With Miles McBride (personal) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) both sidelined, Shamet will enter the starting lineup in place of Ariel Hukporti. Over three regular-season games, Shamet has averaged 4.0 points while shooting 30.0 percent from the field in 14.3 minutes per contest.
Oct 27, 2025
Scoreless in loss
Shamet was unable to score in four attempts (all behind the three-point line) during Sunday's 115-107 loss to Miami, but added a rebound and an assist across 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was unable to capitalize on Miles McBride's (personal) absence Sunday, but seems to still have a role among the bench unit even when McBride has played. Shamet's next opportunity to bounce back will be Tuesday against the Bucks.
Oct 17, 2025
Sinks three triples in win
Shamet (illness) supplied 11 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 20 minutes in Friday's 113-108 preseason win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Shamet delivered an efficient performance from beyond the arc and was one of five Knicks players to score in double figures. The 28-year-old swingman signed an Exhibit 9 contract with New York in September and is likely to make the regular-season roster.
Oct 13, 2025
Ruled out Monday
Shamet (illness) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Mike Brown said Monday that Shamet was expected to play, but he's now being held out due to illness. His next chance to suit up will come in Friday's preseason finale against Charlotte.
Oct 2, 2025
Struggles shooting vs. Philadelphia
Shamet finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet failed to make an impact during the preseason opener while playing 17 minutes off the bench. Much like Malcolm Brogdon, it is uncertain what role Shamet will have on this team, even though both players are expected to make the final roster.
Sep 24, 2025
Likely to make Opening Night roster
Shamet is expected to make the Knicks' Opening Night roster, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Shamet signed an Exhibit 9 contract with New York prior to training camp, and the club will now seek to make corresponding moves to get the sharpshooter on the roster to open the new season. The Knicks also added veterans Malcolm Brogdon and Jordan Clarkson this offseason, leaving Shamet in position to likely fight for scraps off the bench. Shamet averaged 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 15.2 minutes per game over 50 regular-season outings in 2024-25.
Sep 16, 2025
Signs Exhibit 9 deal
Shamet's one-year deal with the Knicks is an Exhibit 9 contract, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Malcolm Brogdon also signed an Exhibit 9 contract, giving the Knicks financial protection in case of injury. The Knicks currently have one roster spot available, and Brogdon is likely the favorite of the two to claim the last spot. It's possible the Knicks could clear up another roster spot, however.
Sep 11, 2025
Inks deal with New York
The Knicks signed Shamet to a one-year contract Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet returns to the storied franchise after playing in 50 regular-season games with the squad during the 2024-25 campaign. The veteran guard posted career-low numbers across the board last season, averaging 5.7 points and 1.2 rebounds across 15.2 minutes per game. However, he shot a career-high 46.1 percent from the floor and shot well from beyond the arc, posting his second-highest career percentage from deep at 39.7 percent. With the addition of Jordan Clarkson to the backcourt and Mike Brown replacing Tom Thibodeau as head coach, it remains to be seen what role Shamet will have in New York moving forward.
Apr 13, 2025
Goes for 29 in win
Shamet posted 29 points (9-17 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and a steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was given the green light Sunday as the team rested its starters for the regular season finale, and he took full advantage, recording season-highs in points, three-pointers made and minutes played. Despite the strong performance, Shamet will likely see a modest role going forward as the team shifts its sights to postseason action.
Apr 11, 2025
Scores nine points in loss
Shamet chipped in nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two assists across 15 minutes during Thursday's 115-106 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Although the Knicks were without Josh Hart (knee) and OG Anunoby (thumb) for the front end of this back-to-back set, Shamet didn't see much run. Instead, Miles McBride drew the start and put up a strong showing in 39 minutes.
Apr 2, 2025
Erupts for 20 points
Shamet totaled 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet recorded season-high marks in points (20) and three-pointers (6), although this has the look of an outlier performance. The Knicks will again be shorthanded Wednesday against the Cavaliers with Jalen Brunson (ankle), Miles McBride (groin) and Cameron Payne (ankle) all still out, so Shamet will likely continue to see healthy workloads.
Mar 30, 2025
Top scorer off bench in victory
Shamet posted 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes in Sunday's 110-93 win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Shamet shined offensively off the bench in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high trio of threes and leading all Knicks bench players in scoring in a double-digit effort. Shamet matched a season high in threes made, a mark he has recorded in five outings. He has reached double figures in scoring on five occasions, including in three of his last five contests.
Mar 21, 2025
Scoreless in 19 minutes
Shamet supplied zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Jalen Brunson (ankle) ditched his walking boot and was able to do some light shooting Thursday, suggesting that he's nearing a return. Despite playing 21.4 minutes per contest over his last four games, Shamet has been very quiet with 3.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals.
Mar 11, 2025
Plays well off bench
Shamet closed with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals over 24 minutes during Monday's 133-104 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
With Jalen Brunson (ankle) expected to miss a couple weeks, Shamet could continue to see a larger role in the second unit while Miles McBride fills in as the starter. This performance was a bit of an outlier, however, as Shamet was able to take advantage of some garbage time in the blowout win -- 10 of Shamet's points came in the fourth quarter.
Feb 21, 2025
Sees extended action in OT win
Shamet recorded seven points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes in Thursday's 113-111 overtime win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has seen more playing time lately, as injuries to OG Anunoby (foot) and Josh Hart (knee) have seen a short Knicks bench get even shorter. In his last three games, the journeyman has averaged 7.3 points in 18.0 minutes per game. Should Anunoby and Hart continue to miss games, Shamet figures to continue playing more minutes.
Jan 5, 2025
Logs 17 minutes in loss
Shamet ended with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Saturday's 139-126 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Shamet continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having exceeded 15 minutes only once this season. To this point, he has connected on just three triples across seven games. His value to the team relies on his ability to spread the floor, something that at this stage is yet to come to fruition.
Dec 28, 2024
Makes impact in limited time
Shamet amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and two steals in 10 minutes during Friday's 108-85 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Shamet appeared in just 10 minutes off the bench in Friday's contest, but made the most of his time on the court while leading all Knicks bench players in scoring to go along with a team-high-tying steals total. Shamet will continue to work his way back to 100 percent after missing most of the season to this point with a dislocated right shoulder, so expect Shamet's production to continue on a positive trajectory as he gets more time with New York.
Dec 22, 2024
Set to return to New York
The Knicks are set to sign Shamet to a one-year deal Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was waived by the Knicks in mid-October after he dislocated his right shoulder during the preseason. He opted to sign with the Knicks' G League affiliate Westchester Knicks, and he made his season debut against the Greensboro Swarm on Dec. 16 and finished with 13 points, three rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes. Shamet could see some minutes off New York's bench while providing wing depth behind starters Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart.
Oct 19, 2024
Parts ways with New York
The Knicks waived Shamet (shoulder) on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was already expected to miss the start of the regular season after dislocating his right shoulder. The Knicks are expected to try to bring Shamet back once he recovers from his injury.
Oct 18, 2024
Expected to miss start of season
The Knicks announced Friday that Shamet dislocated his right shoulder and will be reevaluated at a later date.
ANALYSIS
Shamet exited Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets after injuring his shoulder while reaching for the ball. The 27-year-old does not have a timetable for his return to game action, though he will likely miss significant time. Shamet is currently signed to a training camp deal, and the Knicks have until January to guarantee his contract.
Oct 15, 2024
Headed to locker room
Shamet exited Tuesday's preseason game versus the Hornets with 3:38 remaining in the third quarter and headed to the locker room due to an apparent shoulder injury, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet seems unlikely to re-enter the game Tuesday as the Knicks could play it cautiously during the preseason. Shamet recorded eight points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and two rebounds before exiting.
Oct 15, 2024
Slides into starting unit
Shamet will start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will enter the starting five with the Knicks deciding to rest their usual starters Tuesday. The 27-year-old is expected to add depth in the backcourt this season, though he will likely struggle to find significant playing time competing for minutes with Myles McBride and Cameron Payne behind Jalen Brunson (rest) and Mikal Bridges (rest).
Oct 5, 2024
Likely to secure roster spot
Shamet is increasingly likely to earn a roster spot in the Knicks' opening night rotation, head coach Tom Thibodeau implied to Stefan Bondy of The New York Post. "I don't make the final decision on that, but I'm basing it on what [Shamet's] done on the floor. He's really done well," Thibodeau said.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is playing on a non-guaranteed deal, but based on Thibodeau's words, he's been a standout performer in camp thus far. Given that the Knicks will hand one of their two open roster spots to a veteran, it seems that spot is Shamet's to lose. Shamet averaged 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.8 minutes across 46 regular-season appearances, including five starts, for the Wizards in 2023-24 before missing the final 18 games with a left calf strain.
Oct 1, 2024
Participating in camp
Shamet (calf) was spotted participating in training camp Tuesday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed the final 18 games of the 2023-24 season due to a left calf strain while with the Wizards, but he appears to be all systems go for the Knicks. New York has a stacked starting lineup, but their lack of depth could be an opportunity for Shamet to earn some minutes in the backcourt with his shooting ability.
Sep 14, 2024
Headed to New York
The Knicks signed Shamet (calf) to a one-year deal Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet averaged 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.8 minutes across 46 regular-season appearances, including five starts for the Wizards in 2023-24 before missing the final 18 games with a left calf strain. The 27-year-old guard will likely compete for a depth role in the backcourt, as he is a career 38.4 percent three-point shooter.
Jul 6, 2024
Team option declined
The Wizards declined the $11 million team option on Shamet's (calf) contract Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet spent only one season with the Wizards, during which he averaged a career-low 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting only 33.8 percent from deep. The 27-year-old is a career 38.4 percent shooter from three-point range, and he will join the free agency market.
Apr 13, 2024
Remains out against Boston
Shamet (calf) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will ultimately miss the final 18 games of Washington's season due to a left calf strain. The 26-year-old guard will end the 2023-24 campaign averaging 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.8 minutes across his 46 appearances.
Apr 11, 2024
Still sidelined

Mar 10, 2024
Still battling sore calf
Shamet (calf) exited Sunday's game against the Heat with a sore left calf and will not return.
ANALYSIS
The veteran guard has been nursing the calf issue of late, and while he was ultimately cleared to play, he seemingly tweaked the injury during his seven minutes of action off the bench. Shamet is done for the night and should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game at Memphis, which begins a four-game week for the Wizards.
Mar 10, 2024
Cleared for Sunday
Shamet (calf) is active for Sunday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Shamet slots into a fully healthy Washington rotation. Shamet will likely settle into a modest rotation role, and he has averaged 7.1 points and 1.1 made threes in 15.0 minutes across 40 prior contests off the bench of the season.
Mar 9, 2024
Questionable against Miami
Shamet (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Heat.

Mar 7, 2024
Iffy for Friday
Shamet is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hornets due to left calf soreness.
ANALYSIS

Mar 4, 2024
To come off bench vs. Jazz
Shamet isn't starting Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will retreat to the bench with Bilal Coulibaly set to get the start at shooting guard. Shamet is averaging 5.6 points and 1.7 rebounds over 13.8 minutes in his last 10 appearances as a reserve.
Feb 27, 2024
Good to go Tuesday
Shamet (neck) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Deni Avidja (heel) remains out, but Shamet and Corey Kispert (illness) will be available, giving Washington much-needed wing depth. After back-to-back scoreless outings, Shamet popped for 15 points Sunday versus Cleveland, which tied a season-high mark.
Feb 26, 2024
Dealing with neck strain
Shamet is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a neck strain, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Washington's wing rotation has taken a hit recently, as Deni Avdija (heel), Corey Kispert (illness) and Shamet are all questionable for Tuesday's game, while Bilal Coulibaly (pelvis) has been ruled out. If Shamet can't suit up Tuesday, Johnny Davis, Patrick Baldwin and Jared Butler would all be candidates for increased roles.
Feb 23, 2024
Starting against Thunder
Shamet will start Friday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Deni Avdija (heel) is a late scratch for the Wizards, so Shamet will get the nod with Jordan Poole anchoring the second unit again. Shamet's role has been trending in the wrong direction for most of February, as he averaged just 14.4 minutes per game.
Feb 2, 2024
Good to go Friday
Shamet (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed Wednesday's loss to the Clippers due to an illness but will return to action Friday. Over his last eight appearances, the veteran wing has averaged 8.1 points on 44.7 percent shooting in 12.0 minutes per game.
Feb 1, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Shamet (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The illness forced Shamet to the sidelines Wednesday, but perhaps he'll be able to return for Friday's game. However, Shamet is not a large enough part of the rotation for his playing status to impact fantasy hoops.
Jan 30, 2024
Out with illness
Shamet will not play Wednesday against the Clippers due to illness.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has been seeing minutes in the low teens recently, so his absence won't have a big impact on the rotation. Delon Wright could potentially pick up a handful of minutes with Shamet on the shelf.
Jan 13, 2024
Good to go Saturday
Shamet (personal) is available for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will return to action Saturday after missing Washington's previous contest due to personal reasons. Shamet is averaging 8.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 15.8 minutes across his last five appearances.
Jan 12, 2024
Iffy against Atlanta
Shamet (personal) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is in danger of missing his second straight game Saturday due to personal reasons. Corey Kispert and Delon Wright could continue to see increased minutes if Shamet is ruled out.
Jan 10, 2024
Out for personal reasons
Shamet will not play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers for personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has a minor role for the Wizards, as he's seen minutes in the teens in five straight games. Delon Wright and Corey Kispert could see a small uptick in minutes Wednesday with Shamet on the shelf.
Jan 9, 2024
Scores 15 points in return
Shamet contributed 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 16 minutes during Monday's 136-128 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was aggressive in his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, earning nine trips to the free-throw line, which tied his career-best mark. The sharpshooter converted on eight of those attempts, which also tied a career high, en route to tying his season high with 15 points. Now that he's healthy, Shamet should see around 18-20 minutes per game, but he doesn't offer much fantasy upside outside of being a three-point specialist in deeper leagues.
Jan 8, 2024
Will play Monday
Shamet (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed the last two games due to a sore left hamstring, but he's been cleared to return to action Monday. He played double-digit minutes in five of his six appearances before his absence and averaged 4.7 points in 14.0 minutes per game.
Jan 6, 2024
Remains out Saturday
Shamet (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss his second straight game Saturday due to left hamstring soreness. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Thunder.
Jan 5, 2024
Won't play Friday
Shamet (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet appeared in the Wizards' last six matchups and averaged 4.7 points in 14.0 minutes per game. Bilal Coulibaly could see increased run Friday, while Shamet's next chance to return will be Saturday against the Knicks.
Jan 4, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Shamet is questionable to play Friday against the Cavaliers due to left hamstring soreness.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has played off the bench all season but has rarely surpassed the 20-minute mark, so his fantasy impact has been minimal. His potential absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions.
Dec 23, 2023
Unproductive in return
Shamet (ribs) finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist across 13 minutes in Friday's 129-118 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was back in action for the first time since Dec. 1 after missing eight games with a right rib strain, but he was nearly invisible during his time on the court. Aside from the two missed field-goal attempts and the assist, Shamet's only other contributions in the box score were the two fouls he committed. Despite the poor showing in his return, Shamet is expected to retain a spot in Washington's backcourt rotation moving forward, though he may not see a dramatic spike in minutes from what he received Friday.
Dec 22, 2023
Set to return Friday
Shamet (ribs) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will return to action Friday after missing the last eight games with a right rib strain. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 11.4 points, 1.8 assists, 1.2 rebounds and 19.8 minutes across his last five appearances but could face a minutes restriction against Golden State.
Dec 20, 2023
Still out
Shamet (ribs) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet's absence streak will extend to eight games Thursday with a right rib strain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Golden State.
Dec 18, 2023
Unavailable Monday
Shamet (ribs) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will be unavailable for a seventh consecutive game due to a right rib strain. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to suit up will be Thursday against the Trail Blazers.
Dec 16, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Shamet (ribs) won't play Sunday against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Shamet continues to deal with a rib injury and will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game. His next chance to play will come against Sacramento in the second half of a back-to-back.
Dec 14, 2023
Won't play Friday
Shamet (ribs) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Shamet continues to deal with a rib injury and will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game. His next opportunity to suit up will be Sunday against Phoenix.
Dec 12, 2023
Out against New Orleans
Shamet (ribs) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Shamet's absence streak will extend to four games Wednesday due to a rib injury. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Indiana.
Dec 10, 2023
Won't play Monday
Shamet (ribs) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a third straight game due to a rib injury. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Pelicans. In Shamet's absence, Corey Kispert and Bilal Coulibaly are candidates for slightly increased roles.
Dec 7, 2023
Unavailable Friday
Shamet (ribs) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet sat out Wednesday's game against Philadelphia with his rib injury, and he'll be forced to miss a second consecutive matchup Friday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action, but his next opportunity to do so will be Monday in a rematch against the 76ers.
Dec 6, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Shamet (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet didn't practice Tuesday and will officially be sidelined for the first time in a month. Corey Kispert and Jared Butler are candidates to see increased roles against Philadelphia.
Dec 5, 2023
Questionable to play
Shamet (neck) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Chase Hughes of the Monumental Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan Poole (ankle) is also questionable for the Wizards. Shamet usually sees minutes in the teens for the second unit, and if he's unavailable we could see Corey Kispert with a heavy workload. Jared Butler has played well in limited minutes this season and could be an option as well.
Nov 28, 2023
Plays well in 22 minutes
Shamet amassed 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 126-107 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Jordan Poole returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, but he couldn't get much going. Meanwhile, Shamet had one of his best games of the season, scoring in double figures for the third game in a row. During that stretch, Shamet averaged 13.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.
Nov 25, 2023
Scores 12 points
Shamet notched 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 17 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The Wizards were missing Jordan Poole after he tweaked his ankle in warmups, but Shamet played less than usual due to the lopsided score. Jared Butler made a strong case for more minutes off the bench with an encouraging display Saturday, but Shamet has been solid lately and has scored in double figures in two straight games with a total of five three-pointers.
Nov 16, 2023
Scores four in loss
Shamet amassed four points (2-12 FG, 0-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet attempted a season-high 12 field goals during Wednesday's matchup but struggled to get his shot to fall, especially from beyond the arc. Shamet scored in double figures in back-to-back matchups against the Hornets last week but has been held in check on the scoreboard since then, averaging 4.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 18.7 minutes per game over his last three appearances while shooting just 28.6 percent from the floor during that time.
Nov 9, 2023
Pops for 15 off bench
Shamet contributed 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal in 17 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 132-116 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old guard missed the first few games of the season with a broken toe and didn't make much of an impact in his first two contests, but Shamet was part of a dominant showing by Washington's second unit Wednesday in which it out-scored Charlotte's bench 72-23. His three-point shooting should keep him in the backcourt rotation now that he's healthy, but he'll likely have trouble providing consistent numbers in other categories.
Nov 2, 2023
Light role in team debut
Shamet (toe) played 12 minutes in Wednesday's 130-121 loss to the Hawks, providing eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was active for the first time this season after missing the Wizards' first three games with a broken toe. Though he showed well in during his limited time on the court, Shamet might not have the upside to pick up more minutes while he's part of a crowded group of Washington wing players that includes Deni Avdija, Jordan Poole, Bilal Coulibaly, Corey Kispert (ankle) and Johnny Davis.
Oct 31, 2023
Not listed on injury report
Shamet (toe) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is slated to make his season debut Wednesday after missing the start of the regular season due to a toe injury. He should handle a modest backup role behind Tyus Jones and Jordan Poole.
Oct 29, 2023
Won't play again Monday
Shamet (toe) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports
ANALYSIS
Shamet was able to return to practice on Friday but could not play in Saturday's game and will miss Monday's contest as well. The sixth-year guard appears to be nearing a return but isn't quite there yet. His next opportunity to make his season debut will come Wednesday against the Hawks.
Oct 27, 2023
Still out Saturday
Shamet (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Shamet fully participated in practice Friday but will be forced to miss a second consecutive game to begin the regular season. Although he'll be unavailable Saturday, it appears as though he's closing in on a return to game action.
Oct 27, 2023
Full participant in practice
Shamet (toe) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet sustained a broken toe at the beginning of October and was unavailable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pacers. He was initially issued a 2-to-4 week return timetable and is nearing the end of that window, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him cleared to return to game action soon, especially after Friday's practice session.
Oct 24, 2023
Inactive Wednesday
Shamet (toe) is out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Shamet broke his toe on Oct. 1 and was issued a 2-4 week timeline. Nearing the long end of that window, Shamet could begin ramping up activity this week, but no progress has been reported.
Oct 1, 2023
Dealing with broken toe
Shamet sustained a broken big toe Sunday and is expected to miss two-to-four weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how Shamet suffered the injury, but it will cost him the start of training camp and will be something to monitor as the Wizards' Oct. 25 regular-season opener quickly approaches. Shamet, who came over from Phoenix as part of the Chris Paul trade, is expected to be in the mix for minutes at both guard spots off the bench.
Jun 18, 2023
Shipped to Washington
The Suns are trading Shamet, Chris Paul, multiple second-round picks and multiple pick swaps to the Wizards in exchange for Bradley Beal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Washington appears to be cleaning house, so it's unclear how long Shamet will be a Wizard. The versatile wing has played for four different teams in five seasons and has carved out a solid reserve role in each campaign. He's shot 38.8 percent from three during his career and would make a nice complementary piece in a potential deal involving Kyle Kuzma and/or Kristaps Porzingis.

May 11, 2023
Enters starting lineup
Shamet is in the starting lineup for Game 6 versus the Nuggets on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Josh Okogie is moving to the bench Thursday, so it's clear that the Suns are looking for a boost offensively. Shamet has a total of six triples in his last two games and will provide more floor spacing for the likes of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
May 11, 2023
Expected to start Thursday
Shamet is expected to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 6 versus the Nuggets, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is expected to make his first start since April 9. He is averaging 11.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 28.4 minutes across his previous nine starts this season. With Deandre Ayton (ribs) out, it is unclear if Shamet will replace Ayton, Josh Okogie or Cameron Payne in the starting five.
May 8, 2023
Answers call in fourth quarter
Shamet posted 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-124 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
The Nuggets finally gained some traction against Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in the fourth quarter, but they didn't account for a red-hot Shamet, who drilled four three-pointers in the fourth quarter without much resistance. Entering Game 4, Shamet had scored only 14 points in the postseason, but this performance could up his usage, especially given Cameron Payne's recent struggles.
Apr 16, 2023
Coming off bench Sunday
Shamet isn't starting Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round against the Clippers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Shamet started the final two games of the regular season but will retreat to the bench to begin the playoffs. Over 31 bench appearances this year, he's averaged 7.9 points in 17.7 minutes per game.
Apr 7, 2023
Moves into starting lineup
Shamet is starting against the Lakers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The Suns are resting Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton, as they have already secured their playoff seeding. Shamet is usually a low usage sharpshooter, but he'll have a massive opportunity Friday night.
Mar 30, 2023
Dropped from rotation
Shamet (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Wednesday in the Suns' 107-100 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
After getting double-digit minutes in each of his five appearances since returning from a two-month absence due to a right foot injury, Shamet ended up ceding his spot in the rotation Wednesday to Kevin Durant (foot), who was back in action following a 10-game layoff. Suns head coach Monty Williams could tinker with his second unit from game to game depending on the matchup, but even if Shamet resurfaces in the rotation, he'll likely struggle to carve out much more than a 15-minute role.
Mar 23, 2023
Moving into larger role
Shamet scored 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 122-111 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
After he had been sidelined for much of the past two months with a right foot injury, Shamet didn't necessarily look as though he would be a lock to re-enter the rotation once healthy, but he's surprisingly picked up 20-plus-minute workloads off the bench in both of his first two games since returning from his lengthy absence. He's been impressive on the defensive end and as a perimeter shooter in both of those contests, and Shamet already appears to be viewed as the Suns' top wing off the bench for the time being. He paced all Phoenix reserves in minutes by a wide margin Wednesday, with Jock Landale (21 minutes) ranking second.
Mar 20, 2023
Drills three triples in return
Shamet (foot) finished with 10 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one steal across 20 minutes in Sunday's 124-120 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Though Shamet was playing for the first time since Jan. 16 after a prolonged absence due to a right foot injury, Suns head coach Monty Williams showed no hesitation about carving out a meaningful role for the 26-year-old in his return. Shamet was the fourth Suns player to check into the game off the bench, and he ended up leading all Phoenix reserves in minutes. It's possible, however, that his playing time may have been elevated due to starting wing Josh Okogie logging just 21 minutes while battling foul trouble, so Shamet doesn't look to be the most dependable streaming option for three-point production heading into the Suns' next game Wednesday versus the Lakers.
Mar 19, 2023
Officially available
Shamet (foot) is available for Sunday's matchup in Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Shamet has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for the first time since Jan. 16. Prior to the foot injury, the fifth-year wing was solid part of Phoenix's rotation, averaging 9.5 points, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 21.4 minutes. He may be limited in his return but figures to carve out a sizable role before long and will remain a prominent piece until Kevin Durant (ankle) returns.
Mar 18, 2023
Likely to be available Sunday
Shamet (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup at Oklahoma City, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
A right foot injury has kept Shamet out since Jan. 16, but he's finally on the verge of a return. Assuming he sees the floor Sunday, expect his minutes to be limited, given the long layoff. Prior to his injury, Shamet was a go-to rotation player for Phoenix, averaging 9.5 points, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 21.4 minutes. His return could mean fewer minutes for Damion Lee, Terrence Ross and Josh Okogie.
Mar 10, 2023
Return timetable pushed back
Shamet (foot) is out for Saturday's game versus the Kings and will be re-evaluated in one week, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet hasn't played since Jan. 16 due to right foot soreness. If he is able to return before the end of the regular season, he is unlikely to receive a big enough role to garner serious fantasy consideration.
Mar 2, 2023
Set to miss at least another week
Shamet (foot) has returned to Phoenix and will be re-evaluated next week, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has been out since mid-January due to his right foot injury, and he'll miss at least a few more games before being re-evaluated. He isn't guaranteed a spot in the rotation once he returns since Kevin Durant and Cameron Payne are now healthy.
Feb 23, 2023
Remains sidelined for another week
Shamet (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Thunder and will be re-evaluated in a week, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet hasn't played since Jan. 16 due to a right foot injury. Cameron Payne (foot), Damion Lee and Saben Lee should continue to receive extended minutes in his absence.
Feb 13, 2023
Out through All-Star break
Shamet (foot) will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break according to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic.
ANALYSIS
This isn't a surprise as Shamet remains without a firm timetable to return. Josh Okogie and Damion Lee will continue to see more opportunities in the meantime.
Jan 30, 2023
Out indefinitely
Shamet (foot) won't play Monday against the Raptors and is out indefinitely, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Monty Williams said Shamet didn't do anything during last Friday's practice, and despite progressing well in rehab, the sharpshooter hasn't done enough to start thinking about a potential return date. With just over two weeks before the All-Star break, it's possible Shamet remains sidelined until the second half of the season kicks off.
Jan 29, 2023
Remains out
Shamet (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Raptors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a seventh straight game due to a foot injury. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hawks.
Jan 27, 2023
Still out
Shamet (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a sixth straight game due to a foot injury. His next chance to suit up will come Monday against Toronto. In his absence, Duane Washington, Josh Okogie and Damion Lee are candidates for increased minutes behind Chris Paul and Mikal Bridges.
Jan 25, 2023
Won't play Thursday
Shamet (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Dallas, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a fifth straight game due to a foot injury. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday in San Antonio. In his absence, Duane Washington, Josh Okogie and Damion Lee are candidates for increased minutes behind Chris Paul and Mikal Bridges.
Jan 23, 2023
Out Tuesday
Shamet (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is set to miss his fourth consecutive matchup while recovering from a right foot injury. Duane Washington, Josh Okogie and Damion Lee could all be in line for extended minutes with Shamet still out.
Jan 22, 2023
Still out
Shamet (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a third straight game due to a foot injury. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Hornets. Devin Booker (groin) and Cameron Payne (foot) also remain out, but it appears the Suns will have Chris Paul (hip) and Cameron Johnson (knee) available Sunday.
Jan 20, 2023
Out again
Shamet (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a second straight game due to a foot injury after returning to the starting lineup Monday following a three-game absence due to a hip injury. Cameron Johnson (knee), Devin Booker (groin) and Cameron Payne (foot) all remain out and Chris Paul (hip) is questionable, so it appears the Suns will be shorthanded once again.
Jan 18, 2023
Won't play against Brooklyn
Shamet is out for Thursday's game versus the Nets due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss Thursday's game after returning to the lineup Monday from a three-game absence with a hip injury. With Chris Paul (hip) questionable and Cameron Payne (foot) and Devin Booker (groin) out, Duane Washington, Saben Lee and Damion Lee are candidates to see extended minutes.
Jan 17, 2023
Struggles in return
Shamet provided nine points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 26 minutes during Monday's 136-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Shamet returned to the starting lineup from a three-game absence due to a hip injury, but he struggled to make an impact and was awful from the field. Cameron Johnson (knee), Chris Paul (hip), Cameron Payne (foot) and Devin Booker (groin) have all missed time in recent days, and if that continues to happen Thursday against the Nets, then Shamet should be in line for another start. He's averaging 11.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in that role.
Jan 16, 2023
Starting Monday
Shamet (hip) will join the first unit for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will return to the starting five following a three-game absence due to a hip issue. In six starts, Shamet has averaged 11.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 steals across 32.0 minutes.
Jan 16, 2023
Available against Grizzlies
Shamet (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was questionable ahead of Monday's matchup, but he took part in 4-on-4 work during practice Sunday and will return from a three-game absence against Memphis. Over his four appearances prior to his absence, he averaged 10.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 31.8 minutes per game.
Jan 15, 2023
Iffy for Monday
Shamet (hip) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was spotted taking part in 4-on-4 work during Sunday's practice and will have a chance to play Monday. The fifth-year wing has missed three straight games due to a hip issue, but he'd scored in double figures in three straight appearances before suffering the injury. If Shamet is available, he figures to be a candidate for a sizable role, as Cameron Johnson (knee), Chris Paul (hip), Cameron Payne (foot) and Devin Booker (groin) all remain out.
Jan 15, 2023
Spotted practicing Sunday
Shamet (hip) was seen taking part in 4-on-4 work during Sunday's practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Suns have yet to issue an updated injury report for Monday's game in Memphis, but Shamet looks as though he could have a shot to play after missing each of Phoenix's last three contests with right hip soreness. If available, Shamet could step into a high-usage starting role in the backcourt with Devin Booker (groin) sidelined and with Chris Paul (hip) at risk of missing another contest.
Jan 12, 2023
Still sidelined against Minnesota
Shamet (hip) won't play in Friday's game versus the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss his third straight game Friday due to right hip soreness. With the majority of Phoenix's regular backcourt options out, Duane Washington and Damion Lee should continue to see extended minutes. Shamet will have an extra day to recover for Monday's matchup with Memphis.
Jan 11, 2023
Remains out Wednesday
Shamet (hip) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Nuggets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Shamet was able to participate in the Suns' shootaround Tuesday, he'll be sidelined for both ends of the back-to-back set. He's one of several players in the backcourt who will remain out Wednesday, so Damion Lee, Duane Washington and Josh Okogie should continue to see increased playing time.
Jan 10, 2023
Won't play Tuesday
Shamet (hip) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet took part in the Suns' shootaround Tuesday morning but won't suit up at Golden State. With Devin Booker (groin), Chris Paul (hip) and Cameron Payne (foot) also unavailable, Duane Washington and Damion Lee are poised to have heavily increased roles in Phoenix's backcourt.
Jan 10, 2023
Present for shootaround
Shamet (hip), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game at Golden State, took part in the Suns' morning shootaround, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was added to the Suns' injury report Monday with a sore right hip, an injury he most likely picked up during Sunday's 112-98 loss to the Cavaliers. His presence at shootaround suggests he'll likely be ready to play Tuesday, but Shamet may not be formally cleared until the Suns release their starting lineup shortly before the 10 p.m. ET tipoff. If available, Shamet would likely serve as the Suns' starting point guard while both Chris Paul (hip) and Cameron Payne (foot) are sidelined.
Jan 9, 2023
Added to injury report
Shamet is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to right hip soreness, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Shamet missed time at the end of December while dealing with an Achilles injury, and it appears he's now nursing a different issue. Duane Washington and Damion Lee would likely receive additional playing time if Shamet is unable to go Tuesday evening.
Jan 3, 2023
Modest numbers in return
Shamet (Achilles) finished with six points (2-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes in Monday's 102-83 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Back in action after a three-game absence due to right Achilles soreness, Shamet stepped into the starting five and should remain on the top unit for the foreseeable future with Devin Booker (groin) likely sidelined until at least the latter part of January. Though Shamet wasn't able to capitalize on Booker's absence Monday, he likely won't have too many 2-for-9 outings from the field to drag down his stat line like it did against the Knicks. In his four games prior to injuring his Achilles, Shamet averaged 22.5 points and 5.5 triples per contest on 43.5 percent shooting from the field and 44 percent shooting from distance. At the very least, Shamet should make for a strong streaming option for three-pointers while Booker is out.
Jan 2, 2023
Starting Monday
Shamet (Achilles) will rejoin the starting unit for Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet's return Monday comes after three consecutive absences due to soreness in his right Achilles. With Devin Booker (groin) sidelined for a month, Shamet should be expected to remain in the starting lineup. In two starts this season, Shamet has averaged 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.5 minutes per game.
Jan 2, 2023
Active as expected
Shamet (Achilles) will return to the hardwood for Monday's meeting with the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has missed three consecutive games with soreness in his right Achilles but will be available for Monday's tilt. With Devin Booker (groin) slated to miss most of January, Shamet could be in line for an extended stint in the starting lineup and may be a worthwhile addition for as long as Booker is sidelined.
Jan 1, 2023
Expected to play Monday
Shamet (Achilles) is considered probable for Monday's game versus the Knicks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has missed the last three games while nursing an Achilles injury but appears set to rejoin the action Monday. He should be in line for healthy minutes and a potential starting role in the coming weeks with Devin Booker (groin) sidelined for four weeks.
Dec 29, 2022
Out again Friday
Shamet (Achilles) won't play Friday versus the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss his third consecutive game while dealing with right Achilles soreness, leaving the Suns' backcourt down considerable depth with Devin Booker (groin) out at least four weeks and Cameron Payne (foot) also out again. duane Washington, Damion Lee and Josh Okogie are among the candidates to see additional run Friday as a result.
Dec 28, 2022
Remains out Wednesday
Shamet (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was unavailable Tuesday against the Grizzlies, and he'll remain sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday. Damion Lee and Josh Okogie are candidates to see increased playing time against Washington.
Dec 26, 2022
Not playing Tuesday
Shamet has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right Achilles soreness, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet scored 31 points while adding six assists, two rebounds and one block across 39 minutes in Sunday's overtime loss to the Nuggets, and his absence means the Suns will be extremely thin when it comes to backcourt depth, as both Shamet and Devin Booker (groin) have been ruled out. This will likely translate into Damion Lee moving into the starting unit, and Shamet's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Wizards.
Dec 26, 2022
Logs heavy workload Sunday
Shamet had 31 points (10-20 FG, 7-17 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block over 39 minutes during Sunday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Shamet started the game on the bench, but he endured the workload of a starter following the early exit of Devin Booker, who left the game in the first quarter after re-aggravating his groin injury. Shamet had an excellent performance Sunday, and while he's not likely to hover around the 30-point mark on a regular basis, he should remain in the starting unit as long as Booker remains out, and that should translate into an uptick on his fantasy value as well.
Dec 25, 2022
Will come off bench
Shamet will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Shamet started Friday and totaled 15 points, five rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes, but he'll return to the bench with Devin Booker back in action following a three-game absence due to a groin injury. Damion Lee also figures to see decreased minutes with Booker available. Across 22 games as a reserve, Shamet has posted 8.0 points, 1.7 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 17.6 minutes.
Dec 24, 2022
Another productive effort
Shamet recorded 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 125-100 loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Shamet's stat line was nowhere near as impressive as his 31-point, nine-triple performance his previous time on the court, but he still finished second on the team with 15 points and led Phoenix with three three-pointers. The veteran guard also tied for the team lead with five boards, his most so far this season. Shamet has scored in double digits each of his past three games, which coincides with Devin Booker's (groin) current absence.
Dec 23, 2022
Draws start
Shamet will start Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
After scoring a season-high 31 points Tuesday, Shamet will make his second second of the season Friday. In his only previous start, the sharpshooter posted 13 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during 111-97 loss to Houston. Damion Lee will head to the bench with Shamet entering the starting five.
Dec 21, 2022
Dazzles with nine three-pointers
Shamet closed with 31 points (10-21 FG, 9-16 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 113-110 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
You certainly don't expect this kind of line from Shamet often, but Devin Booker's (groin) absence has opened up the door for Shamet to strut his stuff. His deftness from downtown was a career high for Shamet, who is now with his fourth team in four years as a pro.
Dec 20, 2022
Drills three triples
Shamet notched 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 130-104 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet scored nine of his 13 points from beyond the arc and also notched his first block since Dec. 11. He's been inconsistent at best in terms of scoring, finishing in double figures in only two of his last seven appearances.
Dec 15, 2022
Returns to bench role
Shamet will come off the bench Thursday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet started for the Suns in their last contest while Devin Booker was unavailable. With Devin Booker back from injury, Shamet will return to the bench.
Dec 13, 2022
Enters starting lineup
Shamet is in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will replace Dario Saric in the startling lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston. The 28-year-old guard will make just his fourth start of the season.
Dec 6, 2022
Another decent scoring night
Shamet contributed 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists across 19 minutes during Monday's 130-111 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet scored in double digits for the third time in three games, and he turned in his usual production across the board. He should continue to see between 15-to-20 minutes off the bench behind star shooting guard Devin Booker moving forward.
Nov 27, 2022
Limited output in return
Shamet (concussion) played 15 minutes and generated two points (1-2 FG) and one block in Saturday's 113-112 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
In his return from a seven-game absence, Shamet took back a spot in the Phoenix backcourt rotation from Duane Washington, who was limited to just three minutes. Shamet is unlikely to see his role expand much from here; prior to suffering the concussion, he averaged 16.1 minutes per game over his nine appearances with Phoenix this season.
Nov 26, 2022
Returning Saturday
Shamet (concussion) will play Saturday against the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is returning Saturday after missing the last seven games due to a concussion. The 25-year-old guard was averaging 7.0 points and 1.2 assists in 16.2 minutes across nine games before going down to injury. Shamet's return will likely eat into the playing time of Damion Lee and Josh Okogie and Torrey Craig.
Nov 26, 2022
Likely to play Saturday
Shamet (concussion) is probable to play in Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet should make his return Saturday after missing the last seven games due to a concussion. The 25-year-old guard was averaging 7.0 points and 1.2 assists in 16.2 minutes across nine games before going down to injury. Shamet's return will likely eat into the playing time of Duane Washington, Cameron Payne and Damion Lee.
Nov 24, 2022
Unavailable Friday
Shamet (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Detroit, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet and Chris Paul (heel) fully participated in Wednesday's practice session, but both players will be unavailable for at least one more game. Whether Shamet is available for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz remains to be seen.
Nov 23, 2022
Practices Wednesday
Shamet (concussion) fully practiced Wednesday, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has missed the past six games due to a concussion, but it appears he's on the verge of a return. Chris Paul (heel) also practiced Wednesday, so the Suns' backcourt could suddenly be at full strength.
Nov 21, 2022
Out again Tuesday
Shamet (concussion) will not play Tuesday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a sixth straight game due to a concussion. The Suns will continue to evaluate him on a game-by-game basis.
Nov 19, 2022
Remains out Sunday
Shamet (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Knicks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss his fifth consecutive game Sunday due to concussion symptoms. Duane Washington and Damion Lee should continue to see extended playing time in his absence. Shamet's next opportunity to play will be Tuesday's game versus the Lakers.
Nov 17, 2022
Sitting Friday
Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.comShamet (concussion) will not play in Friday's game against the Jazz, Kellan Olson reports.
ANALYSIS

Nov 15, 2022
Still out
Shamet (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Warriors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is slated to miss a third straight game while in the league's concussion protocol. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against Utah.
Nov 13, 2022
Not available Monday
Shamet (concussion) won't play in Monday's game against the Heat, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
He'll be sidelined for the second game in a row while he remains in the NBA's concussion protocol. While Shamet is out Monday, Damion Lee could absorb some extra playing time as the Suns' first wing player off the bench.
Nov 11, 2022
Won't play Friday
Shamet has been ruled out for Friday's game against Orlando due to concussion symptoms, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet tallied 16 points and an assist in 19 minutes Wednesday against Minnesota but will be unavailable for at least one game due to his concussion symptoms. Whether he'll be available for Monday's game in Miami remains to be seen.
Oct 23, 2022
Officially available Sunday
Shamet (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup, so his status isn't a significant surprise. Cameron Johnson (hip) is also available, so Shamet should see a fairly normal allotment of minutes Sunday.
Oct 22, 2022
Probable Sunday
Shamet (hip) is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's good timing on Shamet's recovery, as Cameron Johnson (hip) is questionable Sunday. Shamet has yet to debut this season while nursing a left hip strain.
Oct 20, 2022
Ruled out Friday
Shamet (hip) will miss Friday's matchup with the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republicreports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed the Suns' regular season opener on Wednesday due to the left hip strain, an injury that does not appear to be serious. Damion Lee will likely see increased run off the bench again after nailing the game-winning basket on Wednesday. Shamet's next opportunity to take the floor comes on Sunday against the Clippers.
Oct 18, 2022
Ruled out for season opener
Suns head coach Monty Williams said Tuesday that Shamet (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Mavericks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams said Monday that Shamet was considered day-to-day, so while Shamet won't play Wednesday, he doesn't appear to be dealing with a major injury. The reserve wing's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Trail Blazers.
Oct 17, 2022
Considered day-to-day
Coach Monty Williams said Monday that Shamet (hip) is considered day-to-day, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed last week's preseason finale due to a left hip strain, and his status for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Dallas remains up in the air. If the 25-year-old is held out to begin the regular season, Damion Lee and Josh Okogie will likely see increased run for Phoenix.
Oct 15, 2022
Limited at practice
Shamet (hip) was only getting up shots at Saturday's scrimmage/practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet's status for Wednesday's opener against the Mavericks is murky, as he's dealing with a strained left hip. If he's out, more minutes could be in store for Damion Lee, Josh Okogie and Torrey Craig.
Oct 11, 2022
Inactive Wednesday
Shamet won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against Sacramento due to a left hip strain, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when Shamet picked up the injury, but nonetheless, the guard will be absent for the Suns' final preseason game. With a week before the regular season begins, Shamet should have time to heal his injury and be ready to make an impact opening night.
Apr 18, 2022
Doesn't see floor in Game 1
Shamet did not play in Sunday's Game 1 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
While he was cleared from the injury report after dealing with a left foot injury, Shamet went unused as coach Monty Williams rolled with a nine-man rotation featuring Cameron Johnson, Torrey Craig, Cameron Payne and JaVale McGee as options off the bench. It's quite possible that Williams was simply being cautions with Shamet, who was limited at practice Saturday, so it will be interesting to note how much -- if at all -- he plays in Tuesday's Game 2.
Apr 17, 2022
Will be available for Game 1
Shamet (foot) will be available for Sunday's Game 1 against the Pelicans, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet tweaked his left foot during practice on Friday, and despite being limited Saturday, it looks like he's avoided a serious injury. With the Suns at full strength heading into Round 1, Shamet will likely play a consistent role off the bench. Over the final 15 games of the regular season, Shamet averaged 10.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.7 minutes per contest.
Apr 16, 2022
Day-to-day ahead of Game 1
Shamet (foot) is being labeled day-to-day ahead of Sunday's Game 1 against the Pelicans, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed Friday's practice and the team didn't do much Saturday, so it's possible the shooting guard's availability comes down to a game-time call. An absence could result in more minutes for Cameron Johnson, Cameron Payne and Torrey Craig.
Apr 15, 2022
Leaves practice with foot injury
Shamet left Friday's practice early with a left foot injury, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The extent of the injury isn't clear, but Shamet should be considered tentatively questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against either the Clippers or Pelicans -- whoever wins Friday's play-in game. If Shamet misses time, more action will be available for Cameron Payne, Aaron Holiday and Torrey Craig.
Apr 11, 2022
Scores 27 in finale
Shamet produced 27 points (11-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Making his third start in the last five games with the Suns resting several regulars, Shamet essentially functioned as the No. 1 option, taking 20 shots and finishing with a new season high in points. When the Suns are at full strength, Shamet typically serves as one of the first guards off the bench. He'll remain in that role when Phoenix's Round 1 series begins Saturday or Sunday.
Apr 10, 2022
Back in starting lineup
Shamet will start Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
As has been the case for a couple of games recently, the Suns will rest several starters Sunday, so Shamet will have a chance to make his third start in the last five contests. He hasn't done much with the increased opportunity, totaling only 18 points, nine rebounds and two assists in his previous two starts (59 combined minutes).
Apr 6, 2022
Joins starting five
Shamet will start Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will join fellow guard Cameron Payne in Wednesday's starting lineup with Chris Paul and Devin Booker each getting rest days. He's averaging 8.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 20.7 minutes per game this season.
Apr 5, 2022
Back to bench
Shamet will come off the bench Tuesday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
With Devin Booker (rest) back, Shamet returns to a bench role. In his past 15 games as a reserve, he's averaged 8.8 points, 1.3 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 19.8 minutes.
Apr 4, 2022
Near double-double in starting role
Shamet recorded 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3PT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in a 117-96 loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Shamet entered the starting lineup for the first time in nearly a month. While his scoring numbers were lackluster, the fourth-year guard has been able to spontaneously produce off the bench. The Wichita State product had a three-game stretch in the back half of March where he averaged 18.0 points while shooting 56.3 percent from the field and 54.1 percent from deep.
Apr 3, 2022
Draws start Sunday
Shamet is starting Sunday's game against the Thunder, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
The Suns are resting several of their starters for Sunday's matchup, so Shamet will make his first start in nearly a month. He's averaged 7.3 points in 17.5 minutes per game across his last four appearances.
Mar 24, 2022
Provides spark off bench
Shamet totaled 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 125-116 victory over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Shamet scored in double figures off the bench for a third straight game. During that stretch, he's averaged 18.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 27.3 minutes per game. The fourth-year wing figures to continue seeing an increased role as long as Cameron Johnson (quadriceps) remains out.
Mar 10, 2022
Remains involved
Shamet logged eight points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 111-90 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Devin Booker (COVID-19 protocols) returned to action Wednesday, resulting in Shamet's demotion to the bench. However, Shamet led the second unit in minutes played and made threes. Although he didn't capitalize on his offensive usage, he still logged a plus-20 in the box score. Shamet can be a deep-league asset should Cameron Payne or Aaron Holiday become unavailable.
Mar 9, 2022
Moves to bench
Shamet will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
After starting the team's last four games, Shamet will shift to the bench as Devin Booker (COVID-19 protocols) rejoins the starting five. Over the last four games, Shamet averaged 14.0 points, 2.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds across 31.0 minutes per game.
Mar 9, 2022
Season-high 21 points in win
Shamet finished with 21 points (6-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 102-99 victory over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
With Devin Booker (COVID-19 protocols) sidelined, Shamet has drawn four straight starts and provided solid scoring production. Across that stretch, the fourth-year wing has averaged 14.0 points, 2.5 assists and 2.3. rebounds in 31.0 minutes per game.
Mar 7, 2022
Posts 17 points in spot start
Shamet produced 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, five assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 132-122 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Shamet stepped in for Devin Booker (COVID-19 Protocols), who should be back later in the week. While it's challenging for any player to mimic Booker's output, Shamet did his level-best as a scorer and ball distributor, leaving most of the heavy lifting to Cameron Payen and Deandre Ayton.
Mar 2, 2022
Joins starting five
Shamet will start Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old came off the bench the past three contests after missing nine games with a sprained ankle, and he'll enter the starting lineup Wednesday with Devin Booker (COVID-19 protocols) unavailable. Shamet has averaged 10.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 27.0 minutes across his seven previous starts this season.
Feb 25, 2022
Poor shooting in return
Shamet (ankle) finished with 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes Thursday in the Suns' 124-104 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Shamet returned to his usual role on the second unit Thursday after missing the Suns' final nine games before the All-Star break with an ankle sprain. Though Chris Paul (thumb) is likely to remain sidelined until at least early April, Shamet likely won't be a major beneficiary from a production or playing-time perspective. Devin Booker handled the point-guard duties Thursday, and Cameron Payne -- once he recovers from a wrist injury -- and Aaron Holiday are better candidates than Shamet to fill the playmaking void going forward if Phoenix elects to shift Booker back to shooting guard.
Feb 23, 2022
Officially available Thursday
Shamet (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has been sidelined since the start of February due to a sprained right ankle. He's returning just in time, as the Suns lost Chris Paul (thumb) for 6-8 weeks, which could open up some more time for Shamet. In 21 appearances this season that Shamet has seen at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 assists and 2.1 rebounds.
Feb 21, 2022
Should be back Thursday
The Suns anticipate that Shamet (ankle) will return to action in the team's first game out of the All-Star break Thursday in Oklahoma City, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
ANALYSIS
Phoenix is expected to reconvene for its first post-break practice Tuesday, and if Shamet is able to participate fully without any discomfort in his sprained right ankle, he should be ready to return from a nine-game absence. Shamet is averaging 19.8 minutes per game over 45 appearances on the season, but he's one of multiple Phoenix guards who will likely see at least a slight increase in playing time after Chris Paul was diagnosed Sunday with an avulsion fracture of his thumb, an injury that's expected to sideline him for 6-to-8 weeks. Along with Shamet, Cameron Payne, Aaron Holiday and Elfrid Payton are candidates to help pick up the slack out of the backcourt while the 12-time All-Star is out of commission.
Feb 14, 2022
Not practicing, likely out for B2B
Suns head coach Monty Williams said Shamet (ankle) didn't practice Monday, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Since Shamet has yet to resume practicing since suffering a right ankle sprain Jan. 30, he can effectively be ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers and Wednesday's game against the Rockets. Cameron Payne (wrist) also hasn't been cleared for practice following a multi-game absence, so Elfrid Payton and the newly acquired Aaron Holiday should continue to hold down roles on the second unit through the All-Star break.
Feb 11, 2022
Remains sidelined Saturday
Shamet (ankle) has been ruled out Saturday against the Magic, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a seventh straight game with a right ankle sprain. His next opportunity to return will be Tuesday against the Clippers.
Feb 9, 2022
Still out Thursday
Shamet (ankle) is out Thursday against the Bucks, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss a sixth straight contest with a sprained right ankle. His next chance to play is Saturday against the Magic.
Feb 4, 2022
Out at least one week
Suns general manager James Jones said Wednesday that Shamet (ankle) would be out for at least the next seven days, Jake Anderson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed his second consecutive game in Thursday's 124-115 loss to the Hawks, and Jones' comments imply that the reserve guard can be ruled out for at least the next three contests as well. Jones noted that Shamet's injury won't affect the Suns' plans ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline, signaling that Phoenix is confident he's avoided a long-term absence.
Feb 2, 2022
Unavailable Thursday
Shamet (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed Tuesday's game against the Nets due to a right ankle sprain, and he'll be sidelined once again Thursday. His next chance to return will be Saturday against the Wizards.
Jan 31, 2022
Remains out Tuesday
Shamet (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Nets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet suffered a right ankle sprain during Sunday's matchup with the Spurs, and the injury will cost him at least one game. Look for Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson to shoulder a heavier workload than usual with Abdel Nader (knee), Cameron Payne (wrist) and Jae Crowder (wrist) all out of commission Tuesday evening.
Jan 30, 2022
Sustains ankle injury Sunday
Shamet didn't return to Sunday's win over the Spurs after exiting with a right ankle sprain in the fourth quarter.
ANALYSIS
Shamet totaled three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and a steal in 17 minutes off the bench prior to his departure. Whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Nets remains to be seen, but Mikal Bridges could see an uptick in playing time if Shamet is sidelined.
Jan 29, 2022
Drops 17 off bench
Shamet produced 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 21 minutes during Friday's 134-124 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
This was easily Shamet's best performance in quite some time, as he drilled four three-pointers and saw his highest minute total since Jan. 16. For the most part, the Wichita State product has been a disappointment since arriving in Phoenix, but he could see a slight boost in minutes if Jae Crowder (wrist) misses any additional time.
Jan 21, 2022
Scoreless off bench
Shamet closed with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 10 minutes during Thursday's 109-101 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was held scoreless for the first time since Nov. 22 and for just the third time all year. Since returning from a three-game absence due to health and safety protocols, he's made five appearance and is averaging 5.2 points, 1.6 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 16.8 minutes.
Jan 12, 2022
Scores six points in return
Shamet closed with six points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 99-95 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Shamet came off the bench and played 14 minutes during his first game since Jan. 2. The fourth-year pro was aggressive during his return, drawing three trips to the free-throw line, but he's not expected to garner a big enough role to be fantasy relevant moving forward.
Jan 11, 2022
Good to go
Shamet (conditioning) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
After a three-game absence, Shamet will re-join the rotation. Since the start of December, he's averaged 8.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 23.3 minutes.
Jan 10, 2022
Listed as probable for Tuesday
Shamet (conditioning) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols, and it appears, barring a setback, that he will make his return from a three-game absence. During his first season with Phoenix, he's averaging 7.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 20.7 minutes per game.
Jan 4, 2022
Heads into protocols
Shamet was placed in COVID-19 protocols Tuesday, Duane Rankin of AZCentral reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet becomes the latest Suns player to test positive for the virus, so he figures to miss at least the next five games, effectively ruling him out for the next three games. The Wichita State product finished Sunday's win over Charlotte with 17 points on a season-high five three-pointers to go with four steals and three assists.
Jan 3, 2022
Drains five threes Sunday
Shamet logged 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three assists and four steals across 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 133-99 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Shamet came out of nowhere to deliver this 17-point outing, as he hadn't scored more than seven points in each of his previous six appearances. The veteran guard is known for his three-point shooting and defensive ability, so while he's a useful player off the bench for Phoenix, his fantasy upside isn't very high on a regular basis.
Dec 20, 2021
Remains involved off bench
Shamet produced 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 137-106 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Shamet returned to a bench role Sunday with Devin Booker (hamstring) back in action, but the 24-year-old continued to see plenty of playing time in the blowout win. He converted 40 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc and was one of five players to top 15 points for the Suns. Shamet has had consistent playing time off the bench this year but has been fairly unreliable on the scoreboard.
Dec 2, 2021
Starting Thursday
Shamet is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will enter the starting lineup after Devin Booker suffered a hamstring injury in Tuesday's win over the Warriors. It will be Shamet's first start of the year. The fourth-year guard has averaged 7.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.6 minutes per game this season but is in line for an extended role short-term with Booker expected to miss a few games.
Dec 1, 2021
Plays key minutes in win Tuesday
Shamet produced nine points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and three assists over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Shamet saw some additional run to close the game, filling admirably for the injured Devin Booker (hamstring). If Booker is to miss time moving forward, Shamet could make for an intriguing deeper league pickup. His value is completely reliant on his perimeter scoring and so for those who do make a speculative grab, just keep that in mind when setting expectations.
Nov 12, 2021
Mediocre showing Friday
Shamet ended with just eight points (2-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 119-94 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Shamet returned for the Suns after missing the previous game with a foot injury. He assumed his typical role off the bench, knocking down a pair of triples in the process. The playing was slightly elevated as the game descended into garbage time, and so managers should read too much into that.
Nov 12, 2021
Cleared to play
Shamet (foot) is available Friday against the Grizzlies, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
After a one-game absence, Shamet will return to the rotation. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 8.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.8 minutes.
Nov 11, 2021
Questionable Friday
Shamet (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers, but he has a chance to return Friday. The 24-year-old has come off the bench in each of his first nine appearances of the season and has averaged 7.3 points in 16.9 minutes per game.
Nov 10, 2021
Ruled out Wednesday
Shamet (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's matchup, and he'll be forced to miss his first game of the year. Cameron Payne and Abdel Nader should see a slight uptick in usage in Shamet's absence.
Nov 9, 2021
Doubtful Wednesday
Shamet is doubtful Wednesday against the Timberwolves due to a right foot contusion, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is expected to miss his first game of the year Wednesday. That should open up more time for Cameron Johnson and Abdel Nader.
Nov 5, 2021
Blossoms for 19 points off bench
Shamet scored 19 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and dished four assists over 19 minutes in a 123-111 win against the Rockets on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Shamet entered the contest having scored five or fewer points in six of his seven games this season, bottoming out with a scoreless effort Tuesday. However, he made the most of his time on the court against Houston, putting up a season-high nine shots and making all five of his attempts from the charity stripe en route to a season-high point total. Shamet has yet to garner 20 minutes in a contest so far this season, so he isn't a viable fantasy option despite his solid performance Thursday.
Oct 23, 2021
Probable vs. Blazers
Shamet is probable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Shamet emerged from Friday's win over the Lakers with foot soreness, but he should be able to play on the second night of the back-to-back. Through two games, he's played 34 minutes and totaled 14 points and four rebounds.
Oct 21, 2021
Likely to play Friday
Shamet is probable for Friday's game against the Lakers due to a right foot injury.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has emerged from Wednesday's season-opening loss to Denver with apparent right foot soreness. The guard logged 19 minutes of action versus the Nuggets and posted 11 points and three rebounds off the bench. Barring any major setbacks, the guard should continue his normal workload against the Lakers on Friday.
Oct 18, 2021
Lands four-year extension
Shamet signed a four-year, $43 million contract extension with the Suns on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was traded from the Nets to the Suns in late July after he averaged 9.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per game across 61 appearances with Brooklyn during the 2020-21 campaign. He's expected to come off the bench to begin the year but, but coach Monty Williams reportedly plans to use the 24-year-old in a significant role.
Jul 29, 2021
Traded to Phoenix
Shamet was traded to Phoenix on Thursday for Jevon Carter and the 29th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet had a relatively successful 2020-21 season in Brooklyn. He saw 23.0 minutes per game and scored 9.3 points on 38.7 percent shooting from deep. In joining the Suns, he figures to see backup minutes on the wing behind Devin Booker and Torrey Craig. From a fantasy perspective, it seems unlikely too much will change.
Jun 17, 2021
Sees 22 minutes off bench
Shamet managed two points (0-2 FG, 2-3 FT) across 22 minutes during Thursday's 104-89 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was essentially the sixth player in a six-man rotation employed by coach Steve Nash in Game 6 as he led the bench in minutes. Despite the workload, the 24-year-old shooting guard contributed very little in the way of stats after he had turned in a nine-point effort in Game 5. Shamet has hit double figures in scoring just one time so far in the playoffs.
May 22, 2021
Will play Saturday
Shamet (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Shamet is good to go for the Nets' playoff opener after dealing with a sprained ankle that presumably occurred during practice. Over 61 games this season, the 23-year-old averaged 9.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23 minutes per game.
May 21, 2021
Probable with sprained ankle
Shamet is probable for Saturday's contest against the Celtics due to a sprained left ankle, Matt Brooks of Nets Daily reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet presumably sprained his ankle during practice, as he hadn't previously been dealing with the issue. That said, he should be good to go Saturday for Game 1. In his 61 appearances this season, he's averaged 9.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists while shooting 38.7 percent from deep.
May 16, 2021
Will start Sunday
Shamet will start Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With James Harden (rest) ruled out, Shamet will re-enter the starting five at one guard spot alongside Kyrie Irving. Shamet played 26 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over the Bulls, finishing with eight points, two rebounds and two assists.
May 13, 2021
Scores 21 in spot start
Shamet recorded 21 points (7-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a block across 35 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Shamet got the start since the Nets were seriously depleted for Wednesday's contest, and the 23-year-old delivered in a big way -- the 21-point output was his third-best scoring game of the campaign and supplied the absences of key offensive pieces. Shamet will likely move back to the bench Saturday with James Harden expected to return to the starting five, though.
May 12, 2021
Starting Wednesday
Shamet will start in Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Michael Grady of YES Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With a number of prominent Nets players ruled out for Wednesday's game, Shamet will rejoin the starting five. The 23-year-old is averaging 9.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22.7 minutes per game this season.
May 8, 2021
Moves to bench
Shamet will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will shift back to the bench as Bruce Brown takes his place in the starting five Saturday. The 23-year-old is averaging 9.3 points, 1.6 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 22.6 minutes per game this season.
May 6, 2021
Starting Thursday
Shamet will start Thursday's game against Dallas, Malika Andrews of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a pair of losses to Milwaukee, the Nets will shake up the lineup and insert Shamet at one guard spot, while Blake Griffin also enters the starting five. DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green will both head to the bench.
May 2, 2021
Standout production from bench
Shamet totaled 17 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes in Sunday's 117-114 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
After seven straight starts, Shamet ceded the role to Bruce Brown and came off the bench in Sunday's loss. Shamet's appetite for increased production didn't wane in a reserve role, as the starting stint gave the Witchita state product time to fine-tune his game. The guard has been plagued with injuries this season, but his return to efficiency is well-timed as the team prepares for the playoffs.
May 2, 2021
Moves to bench
Shamet will come off the bench in Sunday's game against Milwaukee, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
After starting the last seven games, Shamet is headed back to a bench role. He may see a bit of a workload decrease with Bruce Brown (knee) back in the lineup.
Apr 25, 2021
Sticks in starting lineup
Shamet will start Sunday's game against the Suns, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will make his fourth start in a row despite the return of Kevin Durant (thigh), who is coming off the bench. Though he's still starting, Shamet may see his offensive usage take a dip with the return of Durant.
Apr 21, 2021
Scores 18 with eight dimes
Shamet notched 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists and a rebound across 33 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Shamet scored a career-high 30 points Sunday against the Heat and even though he was unable to match that output, he was one of three starters with more than 15 points and also ended just two assists short of putting up a double-double. With James Harden (hamstring) sidelined until the early days of May, Shamet should experience an uptick in his fantasy numbers in the short-term future.
Apr 20, 2021
Joins starting five
Shamet will start Tuesday's game at New Orleans, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old put up a career-high 30 points Sunday against the Heat and will join the lineup for Tuesday's contest. Shamet should see plenty of action for the Nets with James Harden (hamstring) and Kevin Durant (quadriceps) unavailable.
Apr 18, 2021
Goes off for career-high 30 points
Shamet finished Sunday's loss to the Heat with 30 points (10-15 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three assists and two rebounds.
ANALYSIS
Two nights after posting 20 points and six threes in a win over Charlotte, Shamet took things up a notch with James Harden (hamstring) out and Kevin Durant (quad) departing early. The former Wichita State standout continued to rain down threes from all over the floor, cruising to the highest scoring total of his three-year career.
Apr 17, 2021
Big night off bench
Shamet scored 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt) while adding one assist and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Friday's win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old was once again a sparkplug on the second unit. Shamet has scored in double digits in five of his last six games sandwiched around an ankle issue that cost him two contests, averaging 14.8 points, 3.5 threes, 2.3 assists, 1.7 boards and 0.8 steals in 24.8 minutes a game over that stretch.
Apr 16, 2021
Coming off bench
Shamet will come off the bench Friday against the Hornets, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Kevin Durant (rest) returning to the lineup, Shamet will resume his usual bench role. As a reserve since March, he's averaged 10.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.0 minutes.
Apr 14, 2021
Contributes 17 in spot start
Shamet went for 17 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three assists and one rebound over 36 minutes Wednesday in the loss against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet got the start with multiple starters for the Nets out and while his shooting wasn't exactly on, he managed to save his night by making eight of his nine attempts at the charity stripe. In April, Shamet has four games scoring over 10 points with a three-point outing sandwiched in between. He doesn't typically add much to his stat line otherwise so unless Shamet is putting up points, his fantasy value is limited.
Apr 14, 2021
Will start Wednesday
Shamet will start Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
With a number of regulars sitting out, the Nets will use their 29th different starting lineup of the season. Shamet will start alongside Kyrie Irving in the backcourt, and they'll be joined by Jeff Green, Joe Harris and DeAndre Jordan.
Apr 13, 2021
Scores 19 off bench
Shamet posted 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 127-97 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old went from scoring three points Saturday to 19 points Tuesday. Shamet matched his season high with seven made field goals. The third-year guard has been in and out of the lineup lately with a right ankle injury, but he's looked healthy over the past two games. The three-point specialist will look to build on Tuesday's impressive bounce-back performance Wednesday on the road against the 76ers.
Apr 10, 2021
Off injury report
Shamet (ankle) is off the injury report for Saturday's contest against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
As expected, following two missed games due to an ankle sprain, Shamet will be available Saturday. Since the start of March, he's averaged 9.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.9 minutes.
Apr 9, 2021
Likely for Saturday
Coach Steve Nash said Shamet (ankle) is "likely" to play Saturday versus the Lakers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has missed two straight games due to his right ankle sprain, but he's trending toward a return Saturday. Given that ankle issues have forced Shamet to miss even of the last nine games, the Nets could take a cautious approach to his involvement if he does end taking the court.
Apr 6, 2021
Ruled out Wednesday
Shamet (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet picked up a sprained right ankle over the weekend against the Bulls and will miss a second straight game. On a more positive note, the Nets are off Thursday and Friday, so Shamet will have a couple of extra days to recover before Saturday night's matchup against the Lakers.
Apr 5, 2021
Won't play Monday
Shamet (ankle) will not play Monday against the Knicks, Billy Reinhardt of Nets Daily reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet rolled his right ankle during Sunday's loss to the Bulls, forcing him out of the contest in the fourth quarter after playing 22 minutes. He'll miss at least one game as the Nets play on the second night of a back-to-back. With Tyler Johnson (knee) also sidelined, the Nets' backcourt will be a bit shorthanded off the bench.
Apr 4, 2021
May have aggravated ankle injury
Shamet didn't return to Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Bulls after exiting in the fourth quarter with an apparent right ankle injury, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports. He posted 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Shamet recently returned from a five-game absence due to a sprain of the same ankle, so he could be in store to miss time again if his setback proves to be serious. For the time being, consider Shamet questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday versus the Knicks.
Apr 1, 2021
Registers 17 points in return
Shamet totaled 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 21 minutes during Thursday's 111-89 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Shamet returned from a five-game absence looking fresh, as he scored at least 17 points for the fourth time this season. The five triples made also tied his second-best output from downtown all year. Shamet, who has averaged 20.1 minutes per game the season, was not on any sort of minutes restriction in his return.
Apr 1, 2021
Off injury report
Shamet (ankle) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Chris Milholen of Nets Daily reports.
ANALYSIS
After five missed games due to a sprained right ankle, it appears Shamet will be back in action. He could see his minutes limit in his first game back.
Mar 31, 2021
Out Wednesday
Shamet (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Ajayi Browne of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
This will mark the fifth straight absence for Shamet, who continues to nurse a sprained right ankle. With the Nets entering a back-to-back set, it's very possible he could miss Thursday's game against Charlotte, as well.
Mar 30, 2021
Questionable for Wednesday
Shamet (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Steve Nash had said earlier in the week that Shamet wasn't likely to play this week, so this news comes as a positive development. The 24-year-old has missed the last four games while nursing a sprained right ankle.
Mar 28, 2021
Likely out this week
Coach Steve Nash said Sunday that Shamet (ankle) isn't expected to play this week, Greg Logan of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old has missed the past three games with a sprained right ankle and is expected to miss another four contests this week. Nash indicated the injury isn't a "long-term" issue, though Shamet will nonetheless be out for at least another week.
Mar 25, 2021
Will remain out Friday
Shamet (ankle) will not play Friday against Detroit, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss his third game in a row while he deals with a sprained right ankle. Bruce Brown, Tyler Johnson and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot will continue to be candidates for increased workloads with Shamet on the sidelines.
Mar 23, 2021
Out Wednesday, could play Friday
Shamet (ankle), who has already been ruled out Tuesday against the Trail Blazers, will not play Wednesday against the Jazz, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. He could "conceivably" join the Nets Friday in Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was helped off the floor with a sprained ankle Sunday night, and he'll end up missing at least two games as a result. In his absence, Bruce Brown, Tyler Johnson and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot are all candidates to see extra minutes.
Mar 22, 2021
Not traveling with Nets
Shamet (ankle) did not travel with the Nets for Tuesday's game at Portland, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The guard was helped off the floor after spraining his right ankle Sunday night, and while an MRI returned clean, the guard is likely still dealing with considerable swelling and discomfort. The Nets haven't ruled him out beyond Tuesday's game, but they also play Wednesday at Utah and Friday at Detroit, so it's very possible Shamet misses the entirety of the three-game road trip.
Mar 21, 2021
Suffers right ankle sprain
Shamet won't return to Sunday's game against the Wizards due to a right ankle sprain, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet had to be helped to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's contest, and he's been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain. Prior to his departure, he recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 12 minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.
Mar 19, 2021
Moving back to bench
Shamet will come off the bench Friday against Orlando, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet moved into the starting five with Kyrie Irving out Wednesday at Indiana, but he'll shift back to the bench as Irving rejoins James Harden in the Nets' backcourt. In 25 minutes Wednesday, Shamet finished with three points, three rebounds and a steal.
Mar 17, 2021
Goes missing in Wednesday's win
Shamet had just three points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet replaced Kyrie Irving (groin) in the starting lineup but that is where the good news ended, unfortunately. Shamet has been unable to get anything going this season and currently sits outside the top-300 in standard formats. Obviously, there is no reason to look at him outside of the deepest leagues.
Mar 17, 2021
Starting for Irving
Shamet will start Wednesday's game at Indiana, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old will make his first start of the season with Kyrie Irving (groin) sitting out Wednesday. Shamet is averaging 10.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25.8 minutes over the past five games.
Mar 12, 2021
Scores 18 points
Shamet recorded 18 points (6-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes Thursday in a 121-109 win versus Boston.
ANALYSIS
For just over a quarter during Thursday's game, Shamet led the Nets in points before Kyrie Irving and James Harden surpassed him. They have continued to rely on him for supplemental scoring off their bench. Shamet has done just that with an average of 13.0 points across his past four home games.
Feb 25, 2021
Nears double-double in blowout win
Shamet tallied 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt) and nine rebounds across 29 minutes during Thursday's 129-92 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Shamet had been battling a chest bruise heading into this game, but he ended up seeing an increased workload in the blowout and resultingly posted his second-highest scoring total of the season -- while also notching his best rebounding game of the year by far (previous high was four boards). The 23-year-old guard had gone for a combined total of nine points and one rebound in his two previous outings, so there was no indication this performance was coming.
Feb 25, 2021
Available Thursday
Shamet (chest) is available for Thursday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was questionable heading into Thursday's matchup due to a bruised chest, but he'll be able to suit up against the Magic. It's not clear whether he'll have any restrictions.
Feb 24, 2021
Questionable with chest bruise
Shamet is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic due to a bruised chest, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet played 11 minutes during Tuesday's win against the Kings, and he suffered a chest bruise in the process. If he sits out Thursday, Bruce Brown and Tyler Johnson could see more run.
Feb 16, 2021
Scores 13 off bench
Shamet had 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in Monday's win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
In a game the Nets broke open late in the third quarter, Shamet played 28 minutes and hit three three-pointers on his way to his fourth double-digit scoring game of the month. He's hit 17 three-pointers over his last six games, but Shamet doesn't contribute much in any categories outside of threes and points.
Feb 9, 2021
Contributes 10 points off bench
Shamet scored 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes off the bench in the Nets' 122-111 loss to the Pistons on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Shamet's scoring has been much more consistent in recent memory, going for double-digit points in five of six games. Outside of his recent scoring output, Shamet hasn't really provided much else both in fantasy and real life. He's now registered one or less rebounds and assists in the same game thirteen times.
Feb 7, 2021
Explodes for 22 points off bench
Shamet registered 22 points (7-17 FG, 5-13 FG, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet had scored in double digits in three of his last four previous games, but he came out of nowhere to post season-high marks in both points and minutes played. Shamet might be in line for another big night off the bench Tuesday at the Pistons, although his role might be a bit reduced if Kyrie Irving (finger) returns to action.
Jan 31, 2021
Scores 11 off bench
Shamet posted 11 points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block over 20 minutes in Sunday's 149-146 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has generally had lackluster results this season, but he's gotten into a bit of a rhythm on the scoreboard over the past two contests. He's scored 11 points in each of the past two matchups, marking the first time this season that he's had double figures on the scoreboard in consecutive games.
Dec 31, 2020
Perfect from field Wednesday
Shamet finished with 14 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across 17 minutes Wednesday in the Nets' 145-141 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The bench unit had a major hand in the Nets rolling to their biggest point total of the season, with Shamet's sharpshooting playing no small part. The perfect shooting night was a welcome sign for the third-year guard, who had converted only 19 percent of his field goals through the Nets' first four games. Shamet's rotation spot appears to be secure, but since he'll likely struggle to reach the 20-minute mark in most games and doesn't offer much help outside of the scoring and three-pointers categories, he can be left on the waiver wire in the majority of leagues.
Dec 28, 2020
Awful showing in loss to Hornets
Shamet went scoreless (0-9 FG, 0-8 3PT) in 13 minutes on Sunday against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
It's been a rough start to the year for the offseason addition, who came over from the Clippers via trade in November. Through three games, Shamet has totaled just 11 points, while hitting only two of his 15 three-point attempts. To make matters worse, Shamet has only one assist and one steal in 52 total minutes.
Nov 18, 2020
Dealt to Brooklyn
Shamet was traded from the Clippers to the Nets on Wednesday. The Clippers received Luke Kennard and the Pistons received the No. 19 pick in the 2020 Draft.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will provide a three-point presence on the wing for the Nets. That will be especially important if marksman Joe Harris leaves in free agency. If Harris is gone, Shamet should see a similar workload to what he garnered with the Clippers. Last season, he averaged 9.3 points, 2.1 threes, 1.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 27.4 minutes.
Sep 15, 2020
Available to return Tuesday
Shamet (ankle) is available to return to Tuesday's Game 7 against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet is ready to return to action following a brief visit to the locker room. Shamet knocked down one three in four minutes before exiting.

Available to return
Shamet (ankle) is available to return to Tuesday's Game 7 against the Nuggets, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
After injuring his ankle in the first quarter and heading to the locker room, Shamet has been cleared to return to the game in the second quarter.
Sep 15, 2020
Heads to locker room
Shamet suffered an apparent ankle injury during the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets and went to the locker room, per the ESPN broadcast.
ANALYSIS
Shamet limped up and down the court for a couple of possessions before being taken out of the game and going to the locker room. He should be considered questionable to return.
Aug 22, 2020
Scores 18 points in spot start
Shamet ended with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one steal and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 130-122 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Shamet shifted into the starting lineup Friday and certainly gave the Clippers another solid offensive option. On a night when Paul George shot 19 percent from the floor, Shamet's outburst was very well-timed. Given the success here, Shamet could be in for another start should Patrick Beverley (calf) miss Sunday's Game 4.
Aug 21, 2020
Starting Game 3
Shamet will get the start at point guard for Friday's Game 3 matchup with the Mavericks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will replace Patrick Beverley (calf) in the starting lineup. The Clippers went with Reggie Jackson in Game 2, but will switch things up with Shamet. He has averaged 1.0 points, 0.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 13.1 minutes in the first two games of the series.
Aug 17, 2020
Available Monday
Shamet (foot) will play in Monday's Game 1 against Dallas, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet missed the last two regular season matchups due to a left foot sprain, but will be set and ready to go during the opening of the 2020 NBA Playoffs. The guard is currently averaging 6.3 points and 2.0 assists in the NBA bubble.
Aug 16, 2020
Questionable for Game 1
Shamet (foot) is considered questionable for Game 1 against the Mavericks on Monday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet's sprained left foot kept him out of the team's final two seeding games, and he'll wait until Monday to make a decision on his status for Game 1. Shamet started three of the six seeding games in which he appeared, averaging 31.0 minutes per contest in those three starts.
Aug 13, 2020
Out Friday
Shamet (foot) will not play in Friday's game against OKC, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will miss the Clippers' last two games of seeding play with a sprained left foot, so consider him day-to-day as the start of the postseason approaches. The Clippers will play Game 1 against Dallas on either Monday or Tuesday.
Aug 11, 2020
Out Wednesday
Shamet (foot) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a sprained left foot, Andrew Greif of the LA Times reports.
ANALYSIS
This is the first we've heard of the issue, but if Shamet suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Nets, it could partially explain why he had just one point in 32 minutes. Consider Shamet day-to-day and questionable for Friday's seeding-game finale against OKC.
Aug 8, 2020
Posts 19 points in win
Shamet recorded 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 122-117 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet saw his biggest workload of the bubble Saturday. He responded with 19 points, which is his third-highest total of the season and a feat he's achieved four times. The performance was also his seventh of the season with at least three rebounds and three assists.
Aug 6, 2020
Starting at point Thursday
Shamet will start at point guard Thursday against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
With Patrick Beverley (calf) sidelined, Shamet will draw the start at point guard, as it appears coach Doc Rivers wants Reggie Jackson to help drive offense on the second unit. In his first three bubble appearances, Shamet is averaging 4.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.7 minutes.
Aug 5, 2020
Unproductive in Tuesday's loss
Shamet managed just two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 117-115 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was barely visible Tuesday, continuing to struggle on the offensive end. He is a player with very limited fantasy upside and the value he does have typically comes from his ability to score the basketball. That in itself makes him a tough sell and at this stage, you can probably do better.
Jul 29, 2020
Off injury report for opener
Shamet (illness) is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday's opener against the Lakers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Lou Williams (quarantine) out and Patrick Beverley (quarantine) questionable, Shamet could see a significant role in the backcourt provided coach Doc Rivers is comfortable giving him 30 minutes out of the gate, which is far from a guarantee. During Shamet's final 10 appearances before the hiatus, he averaged 7.0 points on 5.9 shots, 1.7 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 23.0 minutes.
Jul 27, 2020
On track to play Thursday
Shamet (illness) is likely to be available for Thursday's seeding game against the Lakers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was a late arrival to the NBA bubble, but he arrived in Orlando over the weekend, and coach Doc Rivers said Monday that he believes the guard is on track to be available. Shamet averaged 27.5 minutes per game prior to the shutdown.
Jul 25, 2020
En route to Orlando
Shamet (illness) is on his way to Orlando, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has been cleared from coronavirus and will be in Orlando shortly. Once there, he'll have to quarantine in his room and pass two more coronavirus tests. After that, he can join his teammates for practice and, eventually, games.
Jul 4, 2020
Tests positive for coronavirus
Shamet has tested positive for coronavirus and is unlikely to travel with the Clippers to Orlando this week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet will need to self-quarantine and test negative twice before entering the bubble. It seems likely he'll be able to achieve that before the Clippers start their regular season again July 30 against the Lakers.
Mar 3, 2020
Scoreless in 14 minutes
Shamet finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 109-94 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Shamet had earned 20-plus minutes in 21 straight games prior to the first two tilts in March, in which he has combined for three points in 29 minutes. The recent addition of Reggie Jackson, who saw 25 minutes in this one, provides another obstacle to Shamet earning substantial playing time on a nightly basis. Still, he'll look to bounce back during Thursday's matchup versus the Rockets.
Feb 14, 2020
Effective in start
Shamet amassed 19 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 47 minutes in Thursday's 141-133 double overtime loss versus the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
With Patrick Beverly (groin) out for the fourth straight game, Shamet started at point guard and received huge minutes in the loss. Paul George (hamstring) also exited this game after only playing 14 minutes and wasn't able to return. With these two starters missing, Shamet recorded his second straight effort of 19 points. The 22-year-old has now scored 10 points or more in 13 of his last 15 games. If Beverly or George miss any time following the All-Star break, look for Shamet to continue producing solid scoring numbers.
Feb 13, 2020
Back in starting lineup
Shamet is starting Thursday's game against Boston, the voice of the Celtics, Sean Grande, reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet gets the nod at point guard with Patrick Beverley (groin) ruled out for Thursday's tilt. The Wichita State product is averaging 12.1 points and 2.6 assists over his last seven contests and figures to shoulder a heavy workload in Boston.
Feb 12, 2020
Big night against former club
Shamet scored 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt) with one rebound in 36 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Facing the team that drafted him 26th overall in 2018, Shamet showed off his long-range marksmanship. The 22-year-old guard has been bouncing between the bench and the starting five since the beginning of January, but his court time has remained fairly consistent in either role, and he's averaging 11.5 points, 2.7 threes, 2.4 boards and 2.2 assists in 30.3 minutes a game over the last 19 contests.
Feb 11, 2020
Exits starting five
Shamet isn't starting Tuesday's game at Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The 2018 first-round pick started the last two games with Patrick Beverley (groin) sidelined, but Lou Williams will open Tuesday's game at the point for the Clippers. Shamet is averaging 10.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 29.8 minutes over the last five games and should still see significant run off the bench.
Feb 10, 2020
Drills three triples in win
Shamet contributed 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 27 minutes Sunday in the Clippers' 133-92 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
After starting at point guard in Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves, Shamet shifted over to his more natural shooting guard spot while Lou Williams moved up to the top unit. Shamet was able to convert at a steady clip from three-point range, but the stat line was fairly barren beyond that. At this stage, Shamet shouldn't be viewed as much more than a streaming option for threes in 12- or 14-team leagues, and his overall playing time will tail off once Patrick Beverley (groin) rejoins the lineup.
Feb 9, 2020
Limited impact as starter
Shamet registered five points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one steal and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 142-115 loss at Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Shamet got the start due to Patrick Beverley's groin injury, but he struggled to make much of an impact. Considering head coach Doc Rivers said Beverley might miss the remainder of the Clippers' three-game road trip, Shamet could get another start Sunday at Cleveland.
Feb 8, 2020
Enters starting five
Shamet is in the starting lineup Saturday at Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Shamet came off the bench the last three games but will rejoin the starting five Saturday. The 22-year-old is averaging 10.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 28.6 minutes this season.
Feb 6, 2020
Scores season-high 23 points
Shamet exploded for 23 points (7-15 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists and one rebound in 32 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 128-111 win against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has returned to the bench now that Paul George is healthy, and while that might result in a decrease on his overall stats, he has been playing at a high level of late since he has scored 10 or more points in 10 of his last 11 games. The second-year guard has averaged 14.4 points per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 43.7 percent from deep during that stretch.
Feb 1, 2020
Not starting Saturday
Shamet will come off the bench for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet's run in the starting five will come to an end as usual first-teamer Paul George is fully recovered from a hamstring issue that cost him nine games. With Geroge back at full strength, coach Doc Rivers has opted to keep Moe Harkless amongst the starters, in order to inject a bit more size into the lineup. Shamet should continue to play a large role and is 7.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.1 minutes across eight reserve efforts this year.
Jan 31, 2020
Scores 15 in Leonard's absence
Shamet posted 15 points (-5-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in Thursday's 124-103 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Shamet drew the start after Kawhi Leonard was declared a late scratch due to back tightness. The Wichita State product excelled in what has become a typical role in place of Leonard, who often sits in back-to-back games. Shamet was hot from long range, as he drained five shots from beyond the arc to pad his scoring total.
Jan 26, 2020
Scores 19 in start
Shamet finished with 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three boards, and three assists in 36 minutes of a 112-97 win against Orlando on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Shamet got the start as Patrick Beverly (groin) missed his third consecutive game. Shamet has thrived in an extended role since injuries have hit the Clippers. He'll face the West leading Lakers on Tuesday.
Jan 25, 2020
Scores 22 to go with six dimes
Shamet supplied 22 points (8-15 FG, 6-12 3Pt), six assists and two rebounds in 43 minutes during Friday's 122-117 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Shamet finished with a career high minute total while amassing season highs in scoring, assists and threes. He has reached double figures in scoring in six straight games, and Shamet is likely to keep playing plenty of minutes, especially while Patrick Beverley (groin) and Paul George (hamstring) are sidelined.
Jan 23, 2020
Serviceable night in loss
Shamet offered 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one block across 36 minutes during the Clippers' 102-95 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Shamet wasn't quite as efficient as a night earlier versus the Mavericks, when he shot 62.5 percent from three-point range on his way to an 18-point tally. However, his performance Wednesday was sufficient to generate his fifth straight double-digit scoring effort, a span during which he's impressively connected on 40.5 percent of his three-point tries. However, it's important to note that Shamet's current surge has coincided with Paul George's absence from the lineup due to a hamstring injury, as the 10.2 shot attempts per game the second-year guard is averaging over that span considerably outpaces the 7.3 he's averaging for the season.
Jan 22, 2020
Connects five threes
Shamet had 18 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3PT, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 110-107 win at Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has nailed three or more threes in three of his last four outings, and most of his value will be tied to his three-point shooting. He is doing a good job since he was moved to the starting unit, however, as he is connecting 41.9 percent of his long-range attempts in his last four starts. He is nothing more than a streaming option for owners who need a boost on three-point related categories, however.
Jan 17, 2020
Hits three triples in blowout
Shamet tallied 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 122-95 victory over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Shamet scored in double-figures for the second straight game, playing a team-high 32 minutes. His fantasy value is almost completely reliant on his perimeter scoring, although he does have the ability to be a facilitator when afforded the opportunity to handle the ball. His projected role is hard to nail down; however, he is typically no more than a three-point streaming option in competitive leagues.
Jan 15, 2020
Fills stat sheet in win
Shamet had 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-11 3PT), seven rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 128-103 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Shamet had scored eight points in his last three games combined and was coming off a zero-point effort Sunday against the Nuggets, so this was a solid bounce-back performance for the second-year guard. That said, he is coming mostly off the bench -- he has started just six times since mid-November -- and is not producing enough to warrant much fantasy upside moving forward even if Paul George remains sidelined with a hamstring problem.
Jan 13, 2020
Fails to score in loss
Shamet ended with just two assists and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Shamet shifted to the bench Sunday, allowing Lou Williams to take his spot in the starting lineup. It is unclear whether this will stick moving forward, but no matter the case, Shamet is certainly not a player you want to be targeting in 12-team leagues. He can be an elite source of three-pointers but his recent production would demonstrate otherwise. Whether he is starting or not, Shamet is merely a streaming option and an unreliable one at that.
Jan 12, 2020
Heads to bench Sunday
Shamet will begin Sunday's game against the Nuggets on the bench,
ANALYSIS
Shamet has started four of the Clippers' last five games but will head to the bench in favor of Lou Williams on Sunday. The 22-year-old averages 5.4 fewer minutes played per game when coming off the bench but his scoring hasn't decreased much, putting up 8.4 points in seven games compared to 8.8 in 15 starts.
Dec 15, 2019
Plays 21 minutes in return
Shamet (ankle) started at shooting guard and recorded 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and four rebounds in 21 minutes Saturday in the Clippers' 109-106 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Sidelined since mid-November with the ankle injury, Shamet was eased back into coach Doc Rivers' rotation with a fairly low minutes load in a competitive game. Considering he had averaged 29.4 minutes per game in his 10 outings before getting hurt, Shamet should see his role expand moving forward, but he'll likely operate mostly as a catch-and-shoot specialist rather than a go-to option for the Clippers. He only averaged 9.1 points and 1.7 assists per game prior to suffering his injury, and that production came while Paul George was out of the lineup during the forward's recovery from offseason shoulder surgeries.
Dec 14, 2019
Making return Saturday
Shamet (ankle) will return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Dec 9, 2019
Still out Monday
Shamet (ankle) will remain out for Monday's game against Indiana, Tomer Azarly of Clutch Points reports.
ANALYSIS
All indications are that Shamet is close to making his return from what's turned into a long-term absence due to a sprained ankle, but it won't come Monday night as the Clips play on the second night of a back-to-back set. His next chance to play will arrive Wednesday in Toronto.
Dec 7, 2019
Remains out Sunday
Shamet (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Wizards, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Unlikely to return Friday
Shamet (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Bucks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Nov 24, 2019
Likely out for road trip
Coach Doc Rivers said after Sunday's game that he does not expect Shamet (ankle) to return during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Rivers noted that Shamet is "progressing," but it sounds as though the Clippers are bracing for him to miss another week. The Clippers kick off the three-game trip Tuesday in Dallas before stops in Memphis on Wednesday and San Antonio on Friday. Following an off-day Saturday, they'll host the Wizards on Dec. 1, which could be a potential return date for Shamet.
Nov 24, 2019
Sitting out Sunday
Shamet (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Clippers haven't placed a definitive timeline on Shamet's return to game action, but considering he only recently ditched his crutches, he's likely due to miss a few more contests. Once healthy, Shamet may fill more of a supporting role than he had previously now that Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are both active again.
Nov 22, 2019
Moving closer to return
Shamet (ankle) is not longer walking with crutches, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet hasn't sniffed the court since. Nov. 11 due to a left ankle sprain, but he's slowly making his way back to full strength. His availability for Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans is unknown at this time.
Nov 21, 2019

Shamet (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Houston, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS

Nov 15, 2019
To miss third straight

ANALYSIS
Shamet has missed time while battling a Grade 2 ankle sprain. After being ruled out for Saturday, his next chance to take the court will come Monday against Oklahoma City.
Nov 14, 2019
Remains out
Shamet (ankle) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Shamet suffered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain earlier in the week, so it's no surprise that he's unavailable for a second straight game. The Clippers have yet to establish a timetable for his return, though he seems unlikely to play Sunday against Atlanta.
Nov 12, 2019
Out Wednesday
Shamet (ankle) was ruled out for Wednesday's game at Houston, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet suffered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain Monday so it's no surprise he won't be able to play in Wednesday's contest. The Clippers have yet to establish a timeline for the 22-year-old's return, but he also seems unlikely to be available Thursday in New Orleans.
Nov 12, 2019
Diagnosed with Grade 2 sprain
Shamet has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain after undergoing an MRI earlier in the day, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet was forced to leave Monday's game against the Raptors due to an ankle injury. Considering he was unable to put much weight on his left foot as he headed to the locker room, this is positive news for Los Angeles, however, a timeline for the guard's return has yet to be established. Lou Williams or Rodney McGruder could be in line for a starting role until Shamet returns.
Nov 12, 2019
Headed for MRI
Shamet is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday as the Clippers look to assess the severity of the sprained left ankle he sustained in Monday's 98-88 win over the Raptors, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet tallied six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two assists and one rebound in 18 minutes before departing late in the third quarter with what looked to be a fairly painful injury. While a specific timeline for Shamet's return won't be known until the MRI results are read, the fact that he was sent in for tests suggests he's likely dealing with more than a day-to-day concern. Shamet seems unlikely to be ready to go for the Clippers' next game Wednesday in Houston, likely leaving more minutes available for Maurice Harkless and Lou Williams as a result.
Nov 12, 2019
Exits early with ankle injury
Shamet won't return to Monday's game against the Raptors due to an ankle injury, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shamet limped to the locker room immediately after suffering the injury, and the team has since announced that he won't return to the contest. The severity of the injury isn't known at this time.
Oct 17, 2019
Absent from injury report
Shamet (wrist) has been removed from the team's injury report and should be available for Thursday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Shamet has been nursing a wrist injury, but the team removing him from the injury report is a sign he's ready to roll. The Clippers may monitor his minutes closely Thursday night as a precaution.
Oct 14, 2019
Dealing with wrist injury
Shamet suffered a wrist injury in Sunday's preseason game against Melbourne, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury is apparently minor, as Shamet insisted he was fine following the conclusion of Sunday's exhibition. But his status is still worth monitoring leading up to Thursday's preseason game against the Mavericks, especially since the Clippers already cancelled practice for Monday.
