Sheppard ended with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and two rebounds in 14 minutes during Monday's 109-97 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSISSheppard saw double-digit minutes for the first time since Oct. 25 against Memphis. The third overall pick of the 2024 Draft has averaged only 3.1 points and 1.1 assists while shooting 39.1 percent from the field across 9.3 minutes per game over seven regular-season outings. Sheppard will likely continue to compete for a slight uptick in playing time with
Amen Thompson and
Cam Whitmore in the frontcourt.
