Shumpert missed Monday's practice because of knee soreness, Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor reports.

Analysis:

Shumpert's status for Tuesday's game against the Rockets hasn't yet been determined, so his situation will have to be monitored. With LeBron James already ruled out for rest purposes, Shumpert is a candidate to start at small forward and see more minutes if he's able to play in that game, but at this point in the season, treating the swingman's knee soreness should be a higher priority for the Cavs.
