2026 Free Agency

Landry Shamet, Knicks agree to 4-year deal

The sharp-shooting reserve guard returns to New York on a 4-year deal after helping the Knicks capture the 2026 NBA title.

Shamet averaged 9.3 points and 2.0 3-pointers per game on 39.2% shooting from 3-point range last season.

The New York Knicks have agreed to a four-year deal to bring back reserve guard Landry Shamet, in news first reported by ESPN. The deal became official on July 6.

Shamet was a key contributor to the Knicks with his outside shooting and defense, and the NBA champions have an agreement to keep him long term.

Shamet signed late last offseason and became a trusted member of coach Mike Brown’s rotation. He made the tying 3-pointer when the Knicks rallied from a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, going on to hit 11 of 12 from behind the arc in that series.

The guard shot 47.5% on 3s in the postseason.

He is the second key reserve the Knicks have committed to keep following a multiyear deal for Jose Alvarado.
