The only thing that prevented the Cleveland Cavaliers from winning the NBA title last year was injury. Most believe they would’ve gotten past the Warriors, given the series went six games. Therefore, Cleveland was wise to retain their roles players. Namely Iman Shumpert.
However, the Cavs will have to make due without Shump for a few months as he needs surgery on his shooting wrist.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert will undergo right wrist surgery this week that is expected to sideline him for more than three months, the team announced Tuesday.
Shumpert suffered a ruptured extensor carpi ulnaris sheath “several days” before the start of training camp, which opened up Tuesday, according to the team. He received an MRI on Monday after being examined by Dr. Thomas Graham and Dr. Richard Parker at the Cleveland Clinic, which confirmed the injury.
