Shumpert will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis:

With Kevin Love being rested for Friday's contest, coach Tyronn Lue will employ a small starting lineup against the Wizards with Shumpert in the fold and LeBron James playing power forward. Friday will mark Shumpert's first start of the regular season, although he played starter-level minutes (34) in his last outing against Washington. He poured in 12 points in that game and added five rebounds and three steals.
