CLEVELAND: Iman Shumpert may have a future in medical school when his NBA gig is over.
Shumpert helped deliver his daughter early Wednesday morning in the bathroom, his fiancée Teyana Taylor wrote on her Instagram account Thursday. Taylor, who wasn’t due for another month, wrote that she didn’t realize she was in labor until she felt the head of her daughter coming out. It only took two 10-count pushes, Taylor wrote, until Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. arrived.
The injured Cavs guard tied headphones around the umbilical cord before the ambulance arrived a few minutes later.
Shumpert was not expected to play Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder anyway because of a groin injury he suffered in Tuesday’s win against the Boston Celtics.
