He signed a new four-year, $24 million deal to stay with the Knicks. His agent, George S. Landberg of GSL Sports Group, got it done on Monday, June 29, 2026.
In his second year with the Knicks, they won a championship. He only averaged 9.3 points per game in the regular season, but he caught fire during the playoffs.
He was especially great in the Eastern Conference Finals. Shamet shot 91.7% from three in the series, making 11 of his 12 attempts from downtown. His points off the bench were crucial to the Knicks sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers .
Shamet didn't shoot as well in the NBA Finals, making 30.8% of his three-pointers, but they still won. His best performance came in Game 1. He scored 13 points (tied for his series-high) and made five of his nine attempts.

Throughout his career, Shamet has been a journeyman. He played for the Philadelphia 76ers , the Los Angeles Clippers , the Brooklyn Nets , the Phoenix Suns , and the Washington Wizards before landing in New York.
