Shamet notched 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 17 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 loss to the Hawks.
The Wizards were missing Jordan Poole after he tweaked his ankle in warmups, but Shamet played less than usual due to the lopsided score. Jared Butler made a strong case for more minutes off the bench with an encouraging display Saturday, but Shamet has been solid lately and has scored in double figures in two straight games with a total of five three-pointers.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Scores four in loss
Rotowire
Shamet amassed four points (2-12 FG, 0-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to the Mavericks.
Shamet attempted a season-high 12 field goals during Wednesday's matchup but struggled to get his shot to fall, especially from beyond the arc. Shamet scored in double figures in back-to-back matchups against the Hornets last week but has been held in check on the scoreboard since then, averaging 4.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 18.7 minutes per game over his last three appearances while shooting just 28.6 percent from the floor during that time.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Pops for 15 off bench
Rotowire
Shamet contributed 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal in 17 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 132-116 victory over the Hornets.
The 26-year-old guard missed the first few games of the season with a broken toe and didn't make much of an impact in his first two contests, but Shamet was part of a dominant showing by Washington's second unit Wednesday in which it out-scored Charlotte's bench 72-23. His three-point shooting should keep him in the backcourt rotation now that he's healthy, but he'll likely have trouble providing consistent numbers in other categories.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Light role in team debut
Rotowire
Shamet (toe) played 12 minutes in Wednesday's 130-121 loss to the Hawks, providing eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal.
Shamet was active for the first time this season after missing the Wizards' first three games with a broken toe. Though he showed well in during his limited time on the court, Shamet might not have the upside to pick up more minutes while he's part of a crowded group of Washington wing players that includes Deni Avdija, Jordan Poole, Bilal Coulibaly, Corey Kispert (ankle) and Johnny Davis.

Rotowire

Shamet (toe) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports
Shamet was able to return to practice on Friday but could not play in Saturday's game and will miss Monday's contest, as well. The sixth-year guard appears to be nearing a return but isn't quite there yet. His next opportunity to make his season debut will come Wednesday against the Hawks.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Still out Saturday
Rotowire
Shamet (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Memphis.
Shamet fully participated in practice Friday but will be forced to miss a second consecutive game to begin the regular season. Although he'll be unavailable Saturday, it appears he's closing in on a return to game action.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Full participant in practice
Rotowire
Shamet (toe) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Shamet sustained a broken toe at the beginning of October and was unavailable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pacers. He was initially issued a 2-to-4 week return timetable and is nearing the end of that window, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him cleared to return to game action soon, especially after Friday's practice session.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Inactive Wednesday
Rotowire
Shamet (toe) is out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Brooklyn.
Shamet broke his toe on Oct. 1 and was issued a 2-to-4 week timeline. Nearing the long end of that window, Shamet could begin ramping up activity this week, but no progress has been reported.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Dealing with broken toe
Rotowire
Shamet sustained a broken big toe Sunday and is expected to miss two-to-four weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
It's unclear how Shamet suffered the injury, but it will cost him the start of training camp and will be something to monitor as the Wizards' Oct. 25 regular-season opener quickly approaches. Shamet, who came over from Phoenix as part of the Chris Paul trade, is expected to be in the mix for minutes at both guard spots off the bench.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Shipped to Washington
Rotowire
The Suns are trading Shamet, Chris Paul, multiple second-round picks and multiple pick swaps to the Wizards in exchange for Bradley Beal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Washington appears to be cleaning house, so it's unclear how long Shamet will be a Wizard. The versatile wing has played for four different teams in five seasons and has carved out a solid reserve role in each campaign. He's shot 38.8 percent from three during his career and would make a nice complementary piece in a potential deal involving href="https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/player.php?id=3669">Kristaps Porzingis.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Enters starting lineup
Rotowire
Shamet is in the starting lineup for Game 6 versus the Nuggets on Thursday.
Josh Okogie is moving to the bench Thursday, so it's clear that the Suns are looking for a boost offensively. Shamet has a total of six triples in his last two games and will provide more floor spacing for Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Expected to start Thursday
Rotowire
Shamet is expected to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 6 versus the Nuggets, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Shamet is expected to make his first start since April 9. He is averaging 11.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 28.4 minutes across his previous nine starts this season. With Deandre Ayton (ribs) out, it is unclear if Shamet will replace Ayton, Josh Okogie or Cameron Payne in the starting five.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Answers call in fourth quarter
Rotowire
Shamet posted 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-124 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Nuggets finally gained some traction against Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in the fourth quarter, but they didn't account for a red-hot Shamet, who drilled four three-pointers in the fourth quarter without much resistance. Entering Game 4, Shamet had scored only 14 points in the postseason, but this performance could up his usage, especially given Cameron Payne's recent struggles.

Shamet isn't starting Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round against the Clippers on Sunday.
Shamet started the final two games of the regular season but will retreat to the bench to begin the playoffs. Over 31 bench appearances this year, he's averaged 7.9 points in 17.7 minutes per game.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Dropped from rotation
Rotowire
Shamet (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Wednesday in the Suns' 107-100 win over the Timberwolves.
After getting double-digit minutes in each of his five appearances since returning from a two-month absence due to a right foot injury, Shamet ended up ceding his spot in the rotation Wednesday to Kevin Durant (foot), who was back in action following a 10-game layoff. Suns head coach Monty Williams could tinker with his second unit from game to game depending on the matchup, but even if Shamet resurfaces in the rotation, he'll likely struggle to carve out much more than a 15-minute role.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Moving into larger role
Rotowire
Shamet scored 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 122-111 loss to the Lakers.
After he had been sidelined for much of the past two months with a right foot injury, Shamet didn't necessarily look as though he would be a lock to re-enter the rotation once healthy, but he's surprisingly picked up 20-plus-minute workloads off the bench in both of his first two games since returning from his lengthy absence. He's been impressive on the defensive end and as a perimeter shooter in both of those contests, and Shamet already appears to be viewed as the Suns' top wing off the bench for the time being. He paced all Phoenix reserves in minutes by a wide margin Wednesday, with Jock Landale (21 minutes) ranking second.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Drills three triples in return
Rotowire
Shamet (foot) finished with 10 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one steal across 20 minutes in Sunday's 124-120 loss to the Thunder.
Though Shamet was playing for the first time since Jan. 16 after a prolonged absence due to a right foot injury, Suns head coach Monty Williams showed no hesitation about carving out a meaningful role for the 26-year-old in his return. Shamet was the fourth Suns player to check into the game off the bench, and he ended up leading all Phoenix reserves in minutes. It's possible, however, that his playing time may have been elevated due to starting wing Josh Okogie logging just 21 minutes while battling foul trouble, so Shamet doesn't look to be the most dependable streaming option for three-point production heading into the Suns' next game Wednesday versus the Lakers.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Officially available
Rotowire
Shamet (foot) is available for Sunday's matchup in Oklahoma City.
As expected, Shamet has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for the first time since Jan. 16. Prior to the foot injury, the fifth-year wing was solid part of Phoenix's rotation, averaging 9.5 points, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 21.4 minutes. He may be limited in his return but figures to carve out a sizable role before long and will remain a prominent piece until Kevin Durant (ankle) returns.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Likely to be available Sunday
Rotowire
Shamet (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup at Oklahoma City, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
A right foot injury has kept Shamet out since Jan. 16, but he's finally on the verge of a return. Assuming he sees the floor Sunday, expect his minutes to be limited, given the long layoff. Prior to his injury, Shamet was a go-to rotation player for Phoenix, averaging 9.5 points, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 21.4 minutes. His return could mean fewer minutes for Damion Lee, Terrence Ross and Josh Okogie.
