The Cavs may have one of the two “Hardy Boys” (Kyrie Irving being the other and the one who dubbed them that) tonight against the Orlando Magic. (Irving is officially out tonight.) Shumpert has been out since Cavs Media Day. We learned that he had hurt his wrist and could be out until after the New Year.
Instead, this morning at shootaround he told media that if things went well in the shootaround, he was hopeful for tonight:
Iman Shumpert said he will “try to give it a go” tonight vs ORL if he comes through shootaround, pregame warmups OK

Shumpert’s return this early could be a huge boost for the Cavs.
