Baller Alert Entertainment & Lifestyle
There’s a slight possibility that Iman Shumpert could miss Game 3 against Chicago tonight due to groin pain, according to Cavaliers coach David Blatt.
“There’s a chance of that,” Blatt said. “The hope is that he’ll be able to play, but we need a little more time.”
Shumpert strained his left groin in the second half of Wednesday night’s 106-91 win against the Bulls. After he got hurt, Shumpert told Lebron James he felt something pop. According to NBA.com, he hobbled to the locker room, but soon returned and rode a stationary bike before re-entering the game. Coach Blatt is confident that the injury isn’t as bad as they feared. “He’s feeling a little bit better than we originally expected and that’s a positive,” he said, “but we’re monitoring and hoping that he’ll continue to progress.”
We’ll have to see what the Cavs decide tonight. Luckily, J.R. Smith will be returning.
