Iman Shumpert (knee) doesn't practice Monday for Cavaliers
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Iman Shumpert (knee) did not on practice Monday.
What It Means:
His status is up in the air for Tuesday against the Houston Rockets. LeBron James (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday, so Shumpert would be a candidate to start in that game. If he's also out, the Cavs would likely give more run to Richard Jefferson.
Shumpert owns a -1.4 nERD, which ranks 91st, in 48 games played this season. He's averaging 5.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while posting a career low 47.6 True Shooting Percentage. Shumpert has actually posted worse totals in his three games as a starter this season (2.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists), so despite the potential increase in playing time, he doesn't make for a great option.
