Progressing in recovery
Shamet (shoulder) has progressed to on-court basketball activities but has not been cleared for contact yet, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Analysis
Shamet suffered a right shoulder sprain in a loss to Orlando on Nov. 22 and was recently re-evaluated. While it's a promising sign that the 28-year-old swingman has been cleared to return to basketball activities, he can still be considered week-to-week until the Knicks provide another update on his progress.

Still out with shoulder sprain
Shamet (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis
Shamet was given a four-week timetable for a return after being diagnosed with a sprained right shoulder back on Nov. 26, though the Knicks haven't yet offered an update on his recovery. With the veteran sharpshooter still looking week-to-week, Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek should both continue to handle an expanded role.
