Tyler Kolek

Tyler Kolek, the Knicks' 34th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has stepped up in the wake of injuries to OG Anunoby and Landry Shamet to help the team to a nice stretch of wins.

Maybe wins against the Hornets and Nets earlier this week didn t do it for you. But Josh Hart s play in New York s win over Milwaukee on Friday has to move the needle toward keeping him in the starting lineup.

Shamet injured his right shoulder during Saturday's loss to the Magic. The good news is that the Knicks are listing the injury as a sprain, as he dislocated the same shoulder during the 2024-25 preseason. Mohamed Diawara and Tyler Kolek played rotation minutes on Saturday, but neither is in a position to provide tangible fantasy value.

Shamet injured his right shoulder when he ran into a Wendell Carter Jr. screen. This is the same shoulder he dislocated during the 2024-25 preseason, spending months on the shelf before joining the Knicks mid-season. With Miles McBride now questionable due to an illness, the Knicks have called on Tyler Kolek and Mohamed Diawara to play rotation minutes off the bench.
