The Cleveland Cavaliers are injury riddled, and Iman Shumpert leaving Game 3 is the last thing they needed. 

When the Cleveland Cavaliers lost Kevin Love against the Boston Celtics, their title hopes took a hit but weren’t dashed. When Kyrie Irving went down, it looked like that might be the final straw but a thrilling Game 2 win has evened the series and given Cleveland a jump start.

The last thing they need is an injury — which is what happened in Game 3 when Iman Shumpert left the game with an arm injury.

Iman Shumpert left the game after he got his arm sandwiched between Draymond Green and Steph Curry.

This is the absolute last thing the Cleveland Cavaliers need. Shumpert immediately left the game and went straight to the locker room for further medical attention, It wasn’t as devastating a scene as when Kevin Love ran off the court with his season-ending injury, but leaving the game isn’t a good sign.

Cleveland has already danced with the devil in the pale moonlight as long as they can, and the injuries piling up are starting to weigh heavy on the minds of fans. It’s also weighing heavy on the Cavaliers resources, which are drying up with now three of their key players injured and not playing — for the time being — in Game 3.
