Shumpert starts in 2nd half; gets 10-3-7 line
Iman Shumpert - G - New York Knicks
Jan. 6, 2012 - 9:40 PM ET
Ivan Shumpert started at point guard in the second half of Friday's game, and scored 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting (1-of-5 from deep) with three rebounds, seven assists, five steals, and one block before bowing out with the same knee cramps he had on Wednesday.
We're not doctors, but this sounds like the supporting muscles near his knee and those would be weakened after he kept weight off of it for about a month. Regardless, unless there is a report to suggest a major problem, Shumpert should be held in all leagues. Toney Douglas is struggling but wait for confirmation that he is benched and buried before dropping him.
