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.
"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.
