Between Landry Shamet dealing with a shoulder injury and the New York Knicks expected to prowl around the market for backup point guard, Tyler Kolek is officially entering a make-or-break stretch. Either he gets an opportunity to showcase he can have staying power for the team, or it’ll be painfully obvious how this all ends.
This risks coming across as overdramatic. It’s not. The question everyone involved needs to ask: If not now, then when?
Shamet is currently dealing with a right shoulder injury that could keep him out an extended period of time, if not cost him his roster spot.
