Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert will be in uniform Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Chris Haynes.
Shumpert missed Thursday's 104-100 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a right groin strain.
His return following a one-game absence coincides with that of All-Star teammate Kyrie Irving, who will make his 2015-16 season debut after missing the first 24 games recovering from surgery for a fractured left kneecap.
Shumpert is averaging 7.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 24.2 minutes per game.
