Shamet amassed 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 126-107 victory over the Pistons.
Jordan Poole returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, but he couldn't get much going. Meanwhile, Shamet had one of his best games of the season, scoring in double figures for the third game in a row. During that stretch, Shamet averaged 13.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Scores 12 points
Rotowire
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) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Memphis.

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.
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.
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.
