Shumpert (shoulder) will remain sidelined Friday.

Analysis:

He was hoping to return to the practice court in early 2015, but is not ready to return to game action, and there is not a clear timetable for when that may happen. Pablo Prigioni and J.R. Smith will see significant run Friday as the Knicks are incredibly shorthanded. Consider Shumpert out indefinitely.
