News about Landry Shamet

According to various outlets, the Washington Wizards have agreed to trade multi-time All-Star guard Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns. In return, the Wizards are expected to receive veteran point guard Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, as well as multiple second-round draft picks. In the last several days between the Wizards and the Suns, as well as the Miami Heat, trade talks were said to have gotten serious.

Devin Booker had 36 points and 12 assists, Kevin Durant had 36 points, and the Phoenix Suns defeated the Denver Nuggets 129-124 on Sunday to keep their Western Conference semifinal playoff series at two games apiece. Landry Shamet, the Suns' backup, made four crucial 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to hold the Suns ahead. Despite a big game from MVP runner Nikola Jokic, who poured in 53 points on 20-of-30 shooting, Denver lost. Jokic also ripped the ball away from Suns owner Mat Ishbia at one point, earning the Nuggets All-Star a technical foul.

On Twitter, Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon sparked a firestorm when his high flying prowess posterized Landry Shamet. Shamet missed a 3-point jumper in overtime as the Nuggets face the Phoenix Suns, allowing Gordon to recover. Despite Shamet's best attempt to get a charge, Gordon made his way down the court, leaped through the air, and slammed the ball home in a matter of seconds.

For his 83rd career triple-double, Jokic had 41 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists. A week ago, the two-time NBA MVP had a 40-point, 27-rebound, 10-assist outing. Devin Booker, a Phoenix player, missed only 4:20 on his return from a groin injury after scoring two points against New Orleans in his previous debut. Jamal Murray tied it in Denver on a dunk with 10.7 seconds remaining. But it was Gordon's overtime dunk that led to the Nuggets' triumph. He was called for an offensive foul at first, but a probe found that Landry Shamet was moving, giving Gordon the basket and a free throw.
