Shamet is in the starting lineup for Game 6 versus the Nuggets on Thursday.
Josh Okogie is moving to the bench Thursday, so it's clear that the Suns are looking for a boost offensively. Shamet has a total of six triples in his last two games and will provide more floor spacing for Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Expected to start Thursday
Rotowire
Shamet is expected to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 6 versus the Nuggets, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Shamet is expected to make his first start since April 9. He is averaging 11.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 28.4 minutes across his previous nine starts this season. With Deandre Ayton (ribs) out, it is unclear if Shamet will replace Ayton, Josh Okogie or Cameron Payne in the starting five.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Answers call in fourth quarter
Rotowire
Shamet posted 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-124 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Nuggets finally gained some traction against Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in the fourth quarter, but they didn't account for a red-hot Shamet, who drilled four three-pointers in the fourth quarter without much resistance. Entering Game 4, Shamet had scored only 14 points in the postseason, but this performance could up his usage, especially given Cameron Payne's recent struggles.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Moves into starting lineup
Rotowire
Shamet is starting against the Lakers on Friday.
The Suns are resting Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton, as they have already secured their playoff seeding. Shamet is usually a low usage sharpshooter, but he'll have a massive opportunity Friday night.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Dropped from rotation
Rotowire
Shamet (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Wednesday in the Suns' 107-100 win over the Timberwolves.
After getting double-digit minutes in each of his five appearances since returning from a two-month absence due to a right foot injury, Shamet ended up ceding his spot in the rotation Wednesday to Kevin Durant (foot), who was back in action following a 10-game layoff. Suns head coach Monty Williams could tinker with his second unit from game to game depending on the matchup, but even if Shamet resurfaces in the rotation, he'll likely struggle to carve out much more than a 15-minute role.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Moving into larger role
Rotowire
Shamet scored 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 122-111 loss to the Lakers.
After he had been sidelined for much of the past two months with a right foot injury, Shamet didn't necessarily look as though he would be a lock to re-enter the rotation once healthy, but he's surprisingly picked up 20-plus-minute workloads off the bench in both of his first two games since returning from his lengthy absence. He's been impressive on the defensive end and as a perimeter shooter in both of those contests, and Shamet already appears to be viewed as the Suns' top wing off the bench for the time being. He paced all Phoenix reserves in minutes by a wide margin Wednesday, with Jock Landale (21 minutes) ranking second.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Drills three triples in return
Rotowire
Shamet (foot) finished with 10 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one steal across 20 minutes in Sunday's 124-120 loss to the Thunder.
Though Shamet was playing for the first time since Jan. 16 after a prolonged absence due to a right foot injury, Suns head coach Monty Williams showed no hesitation about carving out a meaningful role for the 26-year-old in his return. Shamet was the fourth Suns player to check into the game off the bench, and he ended up leading all Phoenix reserves in minutes. It's possible, however, that his playing time may have been elevated due to starting wing Josh Okogie logging just 21 minutes while battling foul trouble, so Shamet doesn't look to be the most dependable streaming option for three-point production heading into the Suns' next game Wednesday versus the Lakers.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Officially available
Rotowire
Shamet (foot) is available for Sunday's matchup in Oklahoma City.
As expected, Shamet has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for the first time since Jan. 16. Prior to the foot injury, the fifth-year wing was solid part of Phoenix's rotation, averaging 9.5 points, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 21.4 minutes. He may be limited in his return but figures to carve out a sizable role before long and will remain a prominent piece until Kevin Durant (ankle) returns.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Likely to be available Sunday
Rotowire
Shamet (foot) is probable for Sunday's matchup at Oklahoma City, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
A right foot injury has kept Shamet out since Jan. 16, but he's finally on the verge of a return. Assuming he sees the floor Sunday, expect his minutes to be limited, given the long layoff. Prior to his injury, Shamet was a go-to rotation player for Phoenix, averaging 9.5 points, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 21.4 minutes. His return could mean fewer minutes for Damion Lee, Terrence Ross and Josh Okogie.

Suns' Landry Shamet: Return timetable pushed back

Shamet hasn't played since Jan. 16 due to right foot soreness. If he is able to return before the end of the regular season, he is unlikely to receive a big enough role to garner serious fantasy consideration.

Rotowire
The Suns announced Monday that Shamet (foot) will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Shamet lacks a firm timeline to return to game action, but he'll at least miss his 14th and 15th consecutive contests Tuesday against the Kings and Thursday against the Clippers, respectively. With Cameron Payne (foot) also sidelined through the break, Damion Lee and Saben Lee should be locked in as Phoenix's primary reserve guards behind starters Chris Paul and Devin Booker.

Rotowire
Shamet (foot) won't play Monday against the Raptors and is out indefinitely, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Head coach Monty Williams said Shamet didn't do anything during last Friday's practice, and despite progressing well in rehab, the sharpshooter hasn't done enough to start thinking about a potential return date. With just over two weeks before the All-Star break, it's possible Shamet remains sidelined until the second half of the season kicks off.
