Landry Shamet is returning to the Garden.
The Knicks have filled their one vacant veteran spot by agreeing to re-sign the guard to a one-year deal, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Thursday.
Ben Simmons had been a target for the Knicks , but he reportedly was not interested, leading to Shamet’s return.

Shamet, 28, joined the Knicks last season and appeared in 50 regular-season games, averaging 5.7 points per game.
He ended up playing important minutes in the playoffs, particularly in the conference final loss to the Pacers, providing a defensive boost as Tom Thibodeau expanded his rotation.
Shamet has been working out in New York with the hope of rejoining the Knicks.
