Shamet’s Exit from Knicks’ Rotation Increases Alvarado’s Playing Time

Landry Shamet’s decline in the Knicks’ rotation is attributed to his poor shooting performance, hitting only 30.2% from beyond the arc since March 1. He played minimal minutes in the playoffs and has been replaced by Jose Alvarado, who has performed well after being called up as a true point guard. Coach Mike Brown noted the strategic shift that led to Alvarado’s emergence. Meanwhile, Jalen Brunson expressed support for teammate Donte DiVincenzo, recovering from an Achilles injury, as the Knicks report no injuries ahead of Game 5.
