The word is Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert is breaking records when it comes to how aggressively he’s attacking his rehabilitation. That might be hyperbole, but what’s clear is he’s ahead of schedule in his recovery from a ruptured Extensor Carpi Ulnaris sheath in his right wrist. “If I could have, I would have played […]
Timofey Mozgov has dominated the conversation since the center reportedly turned down an extension from the Cavaliers this past summer. So, as he continues to progress, it’s only natural to wonder what July 2016 will hold for someone who will be one of the more coveted players on the open market “[My free agency] doesn’t change […]

Cavaliers coach David Blatt was impressed with James’ performance. “Most guys probably wouldn’t have played with what he had, and he played, and you saw how he played,” Blatt said. “The guy is unbelievable, he really is. I don’t […]
As the Cleveland Cavaliers’ leader in field-goal accuracy through fives games this season, at 60.7 percent, it’s only natural that Tristan Thompson’s missed shots draw more attention than his makes. They’re rare. The miss brought his season shooting tally from between 10 and 19 feet to 2-for-6. While the 33 percent connection rate pales in […]
“There’s light at the end of the tunnel,” (Kyrie) Irving told ESPN.com before the Cavs hosted the New York Knicks in Wednesday’s 96-86 victory. “In terms of a date, I do have one in my head, but obviously, I’m not going to share it for a little bit. I think all the rumors that everyone […]
