Shumpert has shed the hard cast on his right wrist and is now sporting a splint, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis:

There's indication that Shumpert's initial 10-to-12 week timetable has changed, but he's at least making some progress in his rehab from a wrist issue that required surgery in late September. If his current timetable holds, he'll likely remain out until mid-to-late December at the earliest, with Mo Williams, Matthew Dellavedova and J.R. Smith all likely receiving added minutes in his absence.
