Shumpert has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt with the Bulls due to soreness in his left knee, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Shumpert got the starting nod on Wednesday night in the place of a resting LeBron James. The Cavaliers are likely taking a precautionary measure with the injury, as the playoffs are a week away. Look for J.R. Smith to see most of the action at shooting guard on Saturday night.
