The injury occurred when Shumpert missed a would-be dunk and landed awkwardly on his left foot with 2:16 left in the quarter. He then limped to the locker room and did not return for the rest of the half.
Rookie Cedi Osman took the court in Shumpert’s absence. The severity of Shumpert’s injury is unknown. Hopefully it is nothing serious and the athletic guard can return to the lineup soon.
