The New York Knicks go into the next game against the Charlotte Hornets with another player added to the injury list. Landry Shamet is out with injury management, giving New York one more absence to deal with in a game that already had a long report.
It is another reminder that the Knicks are clearly prioritizing health before the playoffs.

“Landry Shamet (injury management) listed out Sunday,” according to Underdog NBA. That update adds another layer to an already depleted Knicks rotation and keeps Shamet on the sidelines for the regular-season finale.

Why the Knicks Did It?
GettyKnicks’ Landry Shamet on Injury report
This move fits the bigger playoff picture. Brown said, “You want to try to go into the playoffs as healthy as possible,” and that line explains the Knicks’ approach.
With the third seed already secured, the team has no reason to push key players in a game that means far more for preparation than standings.
Brown also admitted, “We’ll discuss it as a staff here in the next day or so,” showing the decision was made with caution and context. The message is simple: health comes first, and that is why another name landed on the injury report.
