Iman Shumpert's Timeline for Return from Foot Injury Revealed

Alec NathanOct 4, 2017

Cleveland Cavaliers swingman Iman Shumpert suffered an injury to his left foot in the first quarter of Wednesday night's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks, according to ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin.

On Thursday the Cavs announced Shumpert suffered a left foot sprain and is projected to be out of action for the next seven to 10 days.

Shumpert has racked up quite an injury history since he entered the league in 2011, but he appeared in a career-high 76 games during the 2016-17 season. His only notable injury last year came in February when he missed three games due to a sprained ankle.

As a result, Shumpert was able to produce some of his finest efforts as a shooter to date. In his second full season with the Cavaliers, Shumpert averaged 7.5 points per game on 41.1 percent shooting from the field and 36.0 percent shooting from three-point range.

Despite those positive strides, Shumpert's role has been shrouded in mystery after the Cavaliers added Jae Crowder, Dwyane Wade and Jeff Green to a crowded wing rotation that already included JR Smith and Kyle Korver.
