Mikal Bridges was benched for all but three minutes of the second half, as coach Mike Brown rode with streaking reserves Tyler Kolek, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet to beat the Bulls 133-127 on Wednesday. Bridges, who has struggled mightily to start the season, finished with three points in 13 minutes. It represented his shortest appearance as a Knick outside of the two times Bridges was subbed in briefly to maintain his consecutive games played streak. Part of the reason, according to Brown, was the Kolek-Jalen Brunson backcourt combination was effective. “We just found a combination we went with,” Brown said. “One of the things [assistant coach] Rick Brunson suggested was throwing Kolek in the game with Jalen. Just to give them a different look and get Jalen off the ball and put Tyler on the floor.
Only a year ago, Mike Brown began the regular season by juggling his starting five. Mitchell Robinson was set to enter the first unit but was load managing, so the Knicks platooned. Sometimes, a center would start in Robinson’s stead; other times, it would be a shooter. Landry Shamet would start or Miles “Deuce” McBride would close. Josh Hart was never the fifth player originally. Hart struggled with a reserve role, which Brown noticed, amending his first unit in November and then riding that group — which included Hart — to a title. “You could say it’s like trial and error,” Jalen Brunson said. “He’s not afraid to go out there and just try things, and if things don’t work, then we’re gonna figure something out. But he’s always willing to seek suggestions, seek help and figure out what’s the best way to actually prepare a team.”
Nick DePaula: OFFICIAL: NY Knicks champ Landry Shamet has signed a multi-year shoe deal with Serious Player Only. 📄✍️ Shamet tested out shoes from a variety of brands, and was impressed by the performance of the upstart SPO brand’s sneakers featuring its interchangeable drop-in midsole tech.
Knicks Guard Landry Shamet seems to have found a new side gig this offseason. While Shamet is likely still basking in the glory of the Knicks’ NBA title — the organization’s first in 53 years — he appeared to have taken up photography and was spotted at the U.S. Open on Tuesday night working on his craft during the Jessica Pegula-Emma Navarro quarterfinal match. An eagle-eyed photographer from The Post spotted the Knicks guard down in the photo pit at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Shamet was getting shots of the two American competitors alongside other credentialed photographers covering this year’s tournament.

The third edition of their live podcast experience — “The Roommates Show Block Party Presented by DoorDash” — will move from Central Park to Randall’s Island Park on Sept. 24 due to high demand for tickets after the Knicks secured their first title in 53 years. More than 4,000 tickets for this year’s show sold out in 90 seconds, with nearly 8,000 fans left on the waitlist, making this the potential largest live podcast event of all time. They will welcome special guests including Jose Alvarado, Mariska Hargitay, Jimmy Fallon, Spike Lee, Landry Shamet and more — plus musical performances from Fabolous, Jim Jones, Maino and Dave East. “I think it’ll be a great opportunity to celebrate with the fans and also celebrate the fans themselves,” Brunson said. “They showed up for us, so I’m just excited to show up for them in a fun and different environment.”
It’s the second ring of Landry Shamet’s summer. Fresh off of helping the Knicks win their first championship in 53 years, the sharpshooter has sparked engagement rumors as his partner Cameron Aimonetti was pictured in photos obtained by The Post with some new jewelry on her ring finger. The couple was pictured relaxing on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, with Aimonetti wearing a large rock on her left hand.

Shams Charania: Just in: Free agent guard Landry Shamet intends to sign a new four-year, $24 million deal to return to the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Shamet's agent, George S. Langberg of GSL Sports Group, worked with Knicks executives on Monday to land the long-term commitment.
Ian Begley: Landry Shamet turned down the opportunity for bigger offers from other contenders to re-sign with the Knicks and defend the title, per sources. Those offers were coming if Shamet hit free agency. Instead, he and Knicks agree on 4-year, $24 million deal to bring him back to New York, as ESPN first reported. Bringing back Shamet was a priority for the club. If Knicks stay under second apron, it will be very difficult for them to now retain Mitchell Robinson.
Bobby Marks: The contract will allow New York to remain below the second apron after the roster is filled out. The Knicks have 11 players under contract.
The Heat is expected to try to add at least two skilled three-point shooters in free agency. Other options, listed here, include Landry Shamet, Anfernee Simons and Quentin Grimes, among others.
