On Saturday, during the Knicks’ game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Landry Shamet delivered a clutch shot in the fourth quarter. Following the basket, he made his feelings unmistakably clear to the NBA world.

Back in November, New York Knicks guard Landry Shamet reinjured his right shoulder during a game against the Orlando Magic. After sitting out 25 games to recover, Shamet made his return just over a week ago. Although his first appearances were tentative, he has recently started to make an impact for New York.

On Saturday, during the Knicks’ game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Shamet delivered a clutch shot in the fourth quarter. Following the basket, he made his feelings unmistakably clear to the NBA world.

“I’m fu***** back,” Shamet said.

Shamet finished the game with 12 points, four rebounds, and two assists, shooting 4-for-9 from the field and 3-for-7 from three-point range. His performance helped the Knicks secure a 112-109 victory over the 76ers.

Notably, this marked Shamet’s first back-to-back double-digit scoring games since his shoulder injury. His hot hand came at a crucial time, especially as teammates struggled from long range.

The win improved the Knicks’ record to 27-18, securing the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. Since Shamet’s return, New York has gone 3-2 in their last five games.

Shamet has quickly become one of the brightest spots for the Knicks. After the game, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson praised Shamet’s contributions and shared the significance of his return to full health.

“Yeah, he’s great on both sides of the ball. The things he does, he does great. I’m so happy to have him back. Obviously, healthy, that’s the most important thing. But his contributions and going forward are huge for us,” Brunson said.

Shamet is in his second season with the Knicks. This season, he has been averaging 9.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. Before joining the Knicks, he played for five different NBA teams, though none of those stints lasted for an extended period.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
