Knicks Injury Report: Shamet Out, Josh Hart Questionable vs Wizards

According to the most recent NBA injury report, Landry Shamet will miss Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards due to a knee injury. Shamet left Friday’s victory over the Nets due to pain in his right knee.

Josh Hart, who was out for Friday’s game in Brooklyn due to a knee ailment, is still in doubt.

Against the Nets, Shamet replaced Hart in the starting lineup. Jose Alvarado might be added to the starting five if Hart is unable to play. Alvarado was the second guard on the court with the starters when Shamet left the Brooklyn game.

19 March, 5:25 p.m.

Josh Hart will not play against the Nets on Friday due to a knee injury, according to the Knicks. Due to knee pain, Hart missed two games during the Knicks’ road trip to the West Coast earlier this month.

Jalen Brunson, who missed the Knicks’ victory over the Pacers on Tuesday due to neck pain, is expected to rejoin the starting lineup when they play their cross-town rivals.

17 March, 6:05 p.m.

Jalen Brunson (ankle) will not play for the Knicks against the Pacers on Tuesday. Jose Alvarado will replace Brunson in the starting lineup, according to coach Mike Brown. Since January 17, Brunson has not missed a game due to injury.

Mitchell Robinson, who was doubtful due to a back ailment, will also play, according to Brown.

February 11, 1:30 p.m.

OG Anunoby will not play for the Knicks against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

Due to a toenail avulsion on his right foot, Anunoby hasn’t been in the lineup since playing 48 minutes in the double-OT victory over the Nuggets on February 4.

Mitchell Robinson, who missed the first game of the Knicks back-to-back, a disheartening overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers, will be available for New York’s match against the Sixers.

February 8, 11:00 a.m.

On Sunday in Boston, the Knicks will still be short-staffed, but they will have two important players back.

Josh Hart (ankle) and Karl-Anthony Towns (eye laceration) will play, while OG Anunoby (toe) will not.

Due to their individual injuries, Towns and Anunoby were unable to play on Friday in Detroit.

Hart had to leave that defeat early.

After passing his physical, Jose Alvarado will also be accessible for the first time in New York.

February 7, 5:20 p.m.

For Sunday afternoon’s game against the Boston Celtics, the Knicks have listed Josh Hart (ankle), Karl-Anthony Towns (eye laceration), and OG Anunoby (toe) as questionable.

Towns and Anunoby were not there at Friday night’s defeat to the Pistons, where Hart was hurt and had to leave the game in the third quarter.

Before this week’s deadline, New York will have Jose Alvarado accessible for the first time since acquiring the guard in a trade.

February 6, 7:02 p.m.

According to Stefan Bondy of the NY Post, the Knicks will play the Pistons on Friday night in Detroit without star Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby.

Anunoby was a game-time decision because of right toe pain, and Towns was originally rated as doubtful due to an eye laceration.

Josh Hart will play after missing Wednesday’s 2OT victory over the Denver Nuggets, which is wonderful news for New York.

February 6, 1:10 p.m.

When the Knicks travel to Detroit on Friday night, it looks like they will be somewhat short-staffed.

OG Anunoby is labeled as questionable due to right toe pain, and Karl-Anthony Towns has been demoted to doubtful due to an eye laceration sustained on Wednesday.

Furthermore, Jose Alvarado and Denal Terry still need to pass their physicals, therefore they are not officially on the team.

Positively, Josh Hart, who missed Wednesday’s game due to an ankle sprain, is now classified as probable.

Hours before tipoff, Hart—who was first dubious—was already upgraded.

Against the leaders of the Eastern Conference, New York hopes to extend its winning run to nine games.

February 5, 4:15 p.m.

When the Knicks play the Pistons on Friday night, they might be a little short-handed.

OG Anunoby (toe soreness) is likely to play, while Karl-Anthony-Towns (eye laceration) and Josh Hart (left ankle) are listed by the team as questionable.

Towns played through a cut above his eye on Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets, but Hart did not play.

Due to core muscle surgery, Miles McBride is also sidelined and probably won’t be able to play again until the postseason.

February 4, 5:25 p.m.

Josh Hart and Miles McBride, two guards, are sidelined for Wednesday’s home game against the Nuggets due to ankle injuries, according to head coach Mike Brown, leaving the Knicks with a weak backcourt once more.

During the third quarter of Tuesday’s road victory over the Wizards, Hart sprained his left ankle, and cameras showed him limping to the locker room. The veteran missed a few games earlier this season because of a right ankle problem, however the extent of his injury is still unknown.

McBride, who last played against the Kings on January 27, will soon miss his fifth consecutive game. In 35 games this season, he has averaging 12.9 points while shooting a career-high 42 percent from three.

The good news is that youngster Mohamed Diawara, who also left Tuesday’s victory early due to an ankle injury, will play on Wednesday.

February 2, 5:00 p.m.

Tuesday night’s game against the Wizards will put the Knicks’ depth to the test because Mitchell Robinson and Miles McBride have already been ruled out due to left ankle injuries.

McBride will miss four games in a row. He last played against the Kings on January 27. In 35 games this season, the fifth-year guard has averaged 12.9 points while shooting a career-high 42 percent from three.

Robinson has a back-to-back schedule coming up, so his absence is more preventative. In Sunday’s victory over the Lakers, he recorded seven rebounds and one block in 23 minutes. According to SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley, he is probably going to play again on Wednesday against the Nuggets.

January 31, 6:30 p.m.

According to the team’s Saturday injury report, Miles McBride will not play in Sunday’s primetime game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to left ankle injury management.

McBride last played against the Sacramento Kings on January 27. This will be his third consecutive missed game. McBride is hitting 42% from three and averaging 12.9 points per game over 35 games this season.

After a difficult 2-9 run, the Knicks have extended their winning streak to five games despite his absence for the last two games.

January 28, 1:36 p.m.

When the Knicks play the Raptors in Toronto on Wednesday night in the second game of a back-to-back series, they will be without Mitchell Robinson (left ankle management) and Miles McBride.

In Tuesday’s victory over the Kings, McBride played thirty minutes and scored nine points. In 27 minutes of action, Robinson scored seven points and pulled down 13 rebounds (six of which were offensive) versus Sacramento.

Josh Hart is also classified as questionable because of pain in his right ankle.

January 24, 2:36 p.m.

Just prior to Saturday’s start against the 76ers, the Knicks declared that Karl-Anthony Towns would play despite being listed as questionable due to back spasms.

Joel Embiid (ankle) and Paul George (knee) were upgraded by Philadelphia to be available for the game on Saturday.

January 23, 6:20 p.m.

Karl-Anthony Towns, a big man with the Knicks, is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the 76ers in the most recent NBA injury report.

Towns’ diagnosis is being attributed by New York to thoracic back spasms.

Regarding Philadelphia, Joel Embiid (ankle) and Paul George (knee) are expected to play in the crucial matchup between Eastern Conference rivals.

January 19, 3:35 p.m.

Jalen Brunson, who was chosen an All-Star starter for the second consecutive season, will return to action on Monday when the Knicks play the Dallas Mavericks, according to head coach Mike Brown. Brunson has a right ankle sprain.

After spraining his ankle in the first quarter of last Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, Brunson has missed the most of New York’s previous three games, all of which have been losses.

Josh Hart, who missed Saturday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns due to right ankle pain, will also be back on the court on Monday.

January 18, 5:20 p.m.

Josh Hart (right ankle soreness) and Jalen Brunson (right ankle injury) are both classified as questionable for Monday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks.

The old college teammates did not participate in Saturday night’s Phoenix Suns defeat.

Since sustaining the injury on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings, Brunson has already missed more than two games, and the Knicks have lost their last three games in a row.

January 17, 5:58 p.m.

Josh Hart (ankle) and Jalen Brunson (ankle) were declared out for Saturday’s game against the Suns by Knicks head coach Mike Brown after they were first classified as questionable.

January 17, 1:15 p.m.

Josh Hart’s right ankle pain has led the Knicks to classify him as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Phoenix Suns.

After missing eight games due to an ankle injury sustained on Christmas Day, Hart has participated in New York’s last three games. Without him, the squad went 3-5.

Throughout 31 games this season, he has averaged 12.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.

After spraining his right ankle against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, Jalen Brunson is still listed as day-to-day and is also doubtful for Saturday night. He didn’t participate in the Golden State Warriors defeat on Thursday.

January 15, 8:20 p.m.

On Thursday, the Knicks will play without Jalen Brunson; nonetheless, the rotation will be strengthened.

It has been formally decided that Landry Shamet is available to meet with the Warriors.

Shamet has been sidelined since November 22 due to a shoulder issue, but he has been improving and was formally upgraded to questionable before the game.

His comeback is undoubtedly welcome, even though it’s unclear if he will be subject to a minutes restriction.

Before the injury, Shamet was averaging 9.3 points on 45 percent shooting from the field in 15 games.

January 10, 5:00 p.m.

Josh Hart’s ankle injury has been upgraded to questionable for the Portland Trail Blazers game on Sunday.

The wing has missed the last eight games since Christmas Day.

Without him, New York has gone 3-5, losing five of their previous six games.

January 6, 5:20 p.m.

Josh Hart and Landry Shamet are out for Wednesday’s tip against the Clippers at MSG, according to the most recent Knicks injury report.

The Knicks are 2-4 without Hart (ankle), who will miss his seventh straight game. Hart is “close” to returning, according to Ian Begley of SNY on The Putback. It appears that not enough progress has been achieved since the team stated last week that they would reevaluate Hart in a week.

The Knicks head west to play the Suns in Phoenix on Friday following Wednesday’s game.

January 3, 2026, 1:41 p.m.

Due to sickness, Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable for the Knicks’ game against the visiting Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Due to the same illness, Towns was unable to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.

After missing the previous night’s game, Mitchell Robinson (ankle injury management) is not included on the injury report for Saturday.

Josh Hart (shoulder) is improving, but he and Landry Shamet (shoulder) are still out.

December 30, 10:27 p.m.

Mitchell Robinson will not play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday due to an ankle issue.

Three players have been declared out for the NBA Cup rematch on New Year’s Eve, including the big man from New York. Robinson will miss the game along with Josh Hart (right ankle sprain) and Landry Shamet (shoulder).

For Wednesday’s game, Tyler Kolek (right ankle pain) is classified as probable, and Ariel Hukporti (lip laceration) is questionable.

December 27, 6:10 p.m.

Miles McBride (ankle) was classified as out on the Knicks’ most recent injury report prior to Saturday’s tip against the Hawks.

It appears that McBride will miss his eighth game despite being listed as questionable as recently as Friday.

December 26, 3:42 p.m.

Josh Hart, a forward, will be absent from the Knicks’ Saturday game against the Atlanta Hawks. The forward was diagnosed with an ankle sprain after leaving the Christmas Day victory over Cleveland in the fourth quarter.

The good news is that reserve guard Miles McBride (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable. After missing the previous seven games, that suggests he is extremely near to returning to the court.

Shoulder Landry Shamet is still sidelined.

December 22, 4:20 p.m.

When the Knicks play the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in Minnesota, they will be short-handed.

Guerschon Yabusele (sickness), Jalen Brunson (right ankle management), and OG Anunoby (left ankle pain) are all listed as out.

Landry Shamet (shoulder), Miles McBride (ankle), and Pacôme Dadiet (G-League assignment) will also not play.

After winning the NBA Cup last Tuesday, New York is now 2-1. They will take on a formidable Minnesota team that has won four of their previous five games.

December 19, 5:25 p.m.

Hours after being listed as probable on the injury report, head coach Mike Brown stated that Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns will play on Friday against the 76ers.

December 19, at 2:00 PM.

The Knicks will get some of its core back in the starting lineup on Friday night against the Philadelphia 76ers following a back-to-back.

Mitchell Robinson and OG Anunoby are not on the injury report and should be available, but Karl-Anthony Towns (knee soreness) and Josh Hart (rectus abdominis strain) are listed as probable. The victory over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday did not feature Towns, Hart, or Robinson.

On Friday, Landry Shamet (shoulder) and Miles McBride (ankle) will not play for New York. Pacôme Dadiet was also allocated to the Westchester Knicks.

Former MVP Joel Embiid, who was downgraded from questionable due to illness and right knee injury treatment, will not be playing for the Sixers. Embiid has only appeared in 11 of Philadelphia’s 25 games this season, averaging just 20.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game (26.2 minutes). Additionally, Philadelphia will be missing Trendon Watford (left adductor strain) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (left knee injury).

December 18, 5:15 p.m.

The Knicks will be missing a number of players for Thursday night’s game against the lowly Indiana Pacers (6-20) after winning the NBA Cup.

Due to minor ailments, Mitchell Robinson (ankle management), Josh Hart (rectus abdominis strain), and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee discomfort) will not play. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet, who are sidelined due to more serious ailments, will already be absent from New York.

OG Anunoby will play despite having a knee contusion on the injury report.

December 7, 3:22 p.m.

Miles McBride, a guard for the Knicks, left the game during the first half of Sunday’s victory over the Orlando Magic. SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley reports that McBride is still being assessed for a left ankle injury.

The Knicks anticipate learning more about McBride’s condition on Monday.

This season, McBride has been excellent both as a starter and as a backup. McBride has averaged a career-high 15.8 points per game in 19 games (nine starts), shooting 46.2 percent from outside the arc.

December 4, 5:10 p.m.

The return of OG Anunoby appears to be imminent for the Knicks. Anunoby’s hamstring injury has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game at MSG against the Utah Jazz, according to SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley.

Begley mentioned on Thursday’s episode of The Putback that the Knicks are aiming to get Anunoby back on the court during this weekend’s games.

Since getting hurt on November 14 against the Miami Heat, Anunoby has missed every game.

Anunoby has advanced to making contact during practice, according to head coach Mike Brown, and it appears that the forward is responding favorably to it. This does not, of course, imply that Anunoby will play on Friday, but it does raise the likelihood.

December 3, 6:40 p.m.

A brief report on OG Anunoby (hamstring) was provided by Knicks head coach Mike Brown. Anunoby has advanced to making contact during practice, according to the coach.

Before Wednesday’s game against the Hornets, Brown said of Anunoby, “It’s still the same, he’s still progressing in the right direction. We’re not going to rush him.”

Additionally, because Wednesday’s game is the second of a back-to-back, Brown announced that Mitchell Robinson (injury management) will miss it.

November 19, 9:05 p.m.

Before tip-off, the team confirmed that Jalen Brunson (ankle) would return to the court and start against the Mavericks on Wednesday night in Dallas.

Brunson missed the team’s next two games against the Miami Heat after suffering a Grade 1 right ankle sprain against the Orlando Magic on November 12. New York split the two games, winning at home and losing on the road. The team has lost all four of its games away from the Garden and is still looking for its first road victory of the season.

Brunson has averaged 28.0 points on 46.7 percent shooting and 6.5 assists per game over the course of 11 games this season.

Cooper Flagg, a rookie, will miss his first game with the Mavs on Wednesday due to sickness.

November 18, 6:50 p.m.

For its Wednesday tip against the Mavericks in Dallas, the Knicks upgraded Jalen Brunson (ankle) to questionable.

Since spraining his right ankle against the Orlando Magic at MSG on November 12, Brunson has missed the team’s last two games. The Knicks, who are already without OG Anunoby due to a hamstring injury, could use their captain to try to win their first road game of the year.

October 28, 7:18 p.m.

Towns (right quad strain) will play, but Yabusele (left knee sprain) will miss Tuesday’s game, along with McBride (personal) and Robinson (ankle sprain management), the Knicks announced prior to their tip-off against the Bucks.

October 28, 3:35 p.m.

Miles McBride, a guard who missed Sunday’s game against the Miami Heat due to personal circumstances, has been downgraded from questionable to out for the Knicks’ game on Tuesday at the Milwaukee Bucks, the team reported.

October 27, 6:45 p.m.

The Knicks have officially ruled Mitchell Robinson out for Tuesday night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, indicating that he is still not ready to make his season debut.

Robinson’s left ankle injury has kept him out of action for the first three games, and it’s still unclear when he’ll play again.

Additionally, Guerschon Yabusele (left knee sprain), Miles McBride (personal reasons), and Karl-Anthony Towns (right quad strain) have been designated by New York as questionable for the competition.

McBride missed Sunday’s game against the Heat due to personal circumstances, Towns was included before each of the first three games but played in all three, and Yabusele is the only new addition to the injury report.

Yabusele had his knee examined after leaving Sunday’s game at one point, but he was able to return and played regular time off the bench in the closing minutes.

October 23, 6:10 p.m.

The Knicks have declared center Mitchell Robinson (left ankle injury management) out for Friday’s home game against the Celtics, according to the most recent NBA injury report.

The Knicks are being cautious with their big man this season because they want to have him at nearly full strength for an expected lengthy playoff run. Robinson missed Wednesday’s season opening.

Additionally, the Knicks have classified Karl-Anthony Towns (right quad strain) and Josh Hart (lower back) as questionable.

Towns nearly missed Wednesday’s game due to a quad tightness, but he persevered and helped the Knicks defeat the Cavaliers. Hart also missed the season opening but hasn’t played since the first preseason game after tweaking his back.

OG Anunoby is likely to play on Friday despite playing on Wednesday despite being doubtful due to an ankle sprain.

October 22, 10:59 p.m.

In the hours preceding the Knicks’ victory over the Cavaliers, Karl-Anthony Towns was dubious, then unsure, then dubious once more, and we now know why.

Following Wednesday’s victory, the Knicks forward informed reporters that he is playing despite a Grade 2 quad injury.

Towns stated, “I didn’t want to let the fans down, dealing with a Grade 2 quad strain. I’ve been banged up and haven’t really got a chance to practice or play in the last two preseason games.” It’s not a simple task. Tonight, we succeeded. I’m glad that both my teammates and the spectators appreciate the effort I put into playing tonight. A special thanks to them for their understanding of my predicament and their assistance.”

In 30 minutes, Towns persevered and scored 19 points and pulled down 11 rebounds for the Knicks.
