The Athletic's Shams Charania was the first to report the deal, citing a league source.
Shamet's Role in New York
Shamet is expected to provide the Knicks with much-needed shooting and playmaking off the bench.
The 25-year-old averaged 9.3 points and 2.9 assists per game last season with the Phoenix Suns, shooting 40.4% from three-point range.

If Shamet is waived before the start of the regular season, the Knicks will not be on the hook for his salary.
