The Cleveland Cavaliers are 14-7 this season, which through Thursday’s games is the 3rd best record in the league. And they’ve accomplished this without their starting backcourt of Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert. The squad is about to get healthier, as reported by the Akron Beacon Journal:

Iman Shumpert will be active tonight and is likely to make his season debut against the Orlando Magic.
Shumpert still needed to go through the morning shootaround and pregame warm-ups, but all parties (speaking before shootaround) sounded optimistic.
“If we go through shootaround and everything is straight,” Shumpert said, “I’m going to try to give it a go.”
Added coach David Blatt: “We’re hopeful he can get out there.”
