What It Means:

Another report suggested that Shumpert would miss 6-to-8 weeks after surgery, but this would land him at the very end of that timetable. The veteran's already missed two straight and five of the last six games with knee issues. Until his return, J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver and Dwyane Wade will continue to serve as the team's primary off-guard options.

Through 13 games and 6 starts, Shumpert has averaged 4.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 20.8 minutes per game so far in 2017.
