Cavaliers' Kyle Korver: Hits three treys in return to action

Korver (foot) put up 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 12 minutes in a 122-102 win over the Magic on Tuesday.

Analysis:

After missing 11 of the Cavs' last 14 games while battling inflammation in his left foot, Korver didn't miss a beat in his return to action, with only his restricted minutes taking a bigger night off the table. According to the Associated Press, Lue said after the game that he thinks Korver can play Wednesday against the Celtics, but the team could still limit the veteran sharpshooter's workload in the second half of the back-to-back set. Once he's further removed from the injury, Korver should leapfrog Iman Shumpert in the pecking order at shooting guard and settle in as the Cavs' sixth man.
