Iman Shumpert: (Groin) Will Start Friday

Shumpert (groin) will start in Friday's Game 3 against the Bulls, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis:

Shumpert is coming into Game 3 with a minor groin injury but coach David Blatt still decided to go with Shumpert over J.R. Smith (suspension). The 24-year-old averaged 35 minutes on the court in the first two games of the series but could see that total drop with Smith available for the first time against the Bulls.
