Shumpert (illness) is expected to participate in Tuesday's morning shootaround and stands a good chance of playing against the Lakers, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Analysis:

Shumpert was a late scratch for Sunday's game due to flu-like symptoms but appears healthy enough to take the court Tuesday. While coach Mike Woodson believes Shumpert will be able to play versus Los Angeles, the swingman's owners should monitor his status as tipoff approaches to ensure his availability.
