Cavaliers' Shumpert returns to lineup vs. 76ers following groin strain

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.
