Iman Shumpert

Iman Shumpert starting for Cavaliers, DeAndre Liggins back to bench

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Iman Shumpert (ankle) will return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, sending DeAndre Liggins back to the bench.

What It Means:

"He is the bionic man," head coach Tyronn Lue said in regards to Shumpert's ability to recover from injuries. Shumpert was a full participant during shootaround and he isn't expected to be on any sort of minutes limit. He's a decent streamer if you need threes and steals.

numberFire's models expect Shumpert to record 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 3-pointers in 29.7 minutes on Tuesday night.
