Doesn't see floor in Game 1 Shamet did not play in Sunday's Game 1 victory over the Pelicans.
Impact While he was cleared from the injury report after dealing with a left foot injury, Shamet went unused as coach Monty Williams rolled with a nine-man rotation featuring Cameron Johnson, Torrey Craig, Cameron Payne and JaVale McGee as options off the bench. It's quite possible that Williams was simply being cautions with Shamet, who was limited at practice Saturday, so it will be interesting to note how much -- if at all -- he plays in Tuesday's Game 2.

Will be available for Game 1 Shamet (foot) will be available for Sunday's Game 1 against the Pelicans, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact Shamet tweaked his left foot during practice on Friday, and despite being limited Saturday, it looks like he's avoided a serious injury. With the Suns at full strength heading into Round 1, Shamet will likely play a consistent role off the bench. Over the final 15 games of the regular season, Shamet averaged 10.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.7 minutes per contest.

Day-to-day ahead of Game 1 Shamet (foot) is being labeled day-to-day ahead of Sunday's Game 1 against the Pelicans, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. He is officially questionable.
Impact Shamet missed Friday's practice, and the team didn't do much Saturday, so it's possible the shooting guard's availability comes down to a game-time call. An absence could result in more minutes for Cameron Johnson, Cameron Payne and Torrey Craig.

Leaves practice with foot injury Shamet left Friday's practice early with a left foot injury, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact The extent of the injury isn't clear, but Shamet should be considered tentatively questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against either the Clippers or Pelicans -- whoever wins Friday's play-in game. If Shamet misses time, more action will be available for Cameron Payne, Aaron Holiday and Torrey Craig.

Confident, not cocky: Loaded Suns ready for playoff run
The Phoenix Suns have many reasons to be confident they can make another deep playoff runAPRIL 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scores 27 in finale Shamet produced 27 points (11-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 loss to the Kings.
Impact Making his third start in the last five games with the Suns resting several regulars, Shamet essentially functioned as the No. 1 option, taking 20 shots and finishing with a new season high in points. When the Suns are at full strength, Shamet typically serves as one of the first guards off the bench. He'll remain in that role when Phoenix's Round 1 series begins Sunday.

Los Angeles faces Phoenix on 3-game road slide
Los Angeles enters a matchup against Phoenix after losing three straight road gamesAPRIL 4, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Near double-double in starting role Shamet recorded 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3PT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in a 117-96 loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Impact Shamet entered the starting lineup for the first time in nearly a month. While his scoring numbers were lackluster, the fourth-year guard has been able to spontaneously produce off the bench. The Wichita State product had a three-game stretch in the back half of March in which he averaged 18.0 points while shooting 56.3 percent from the field and 54.1 percent from deep.
