Iman Shumpert: Waived by Nets
Rotowire
Shumpert was waived by the Nets after Tuesday's win over the Kings, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The 30-year-old joined Brooklyn on a one-year deal in January, but the team opted to waive him rather than guarantee his contract for the rest of the season. Shumpert is expected to re-sign with the Nets on a 10-day contract Friday if he clears waivers, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Shumpert has yet to make his debut for the Nets, as he missed time with a hamstring injury shortly after signing with the team. He was cleared to return to action Tuesday, but he wasn't used in head coach Steve Nash's rotation.

Shumpert will be available to make his debut with Brooklyn after he signed with the team in late January but was hampered by a hamstring strain. The 30-year-old hasn't appeared in an NBA game since December 2019, so he likely won't be looking at a big role on this Nets squad.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Out 'a week or two'
Rotowire
Shumpert (hamstring) will be sidelined for "a week or two," Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Shumpert hasn't gotten to debut for the Nets, and he's dealing with a hamstring injury that he presumably suffered during a workout or practice. So his debut will be even more delayed, with the Nets needing to rely on Bruce Brown, Landry Shamet and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot for backup minutes in the backcourt and on the wing.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: Out with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Shumpert won't be available to play Tuesday against the Pistons due to a left hamstring strain, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
After signing with Brooklyn last week, Shumpert was available for both ends of a Friday/Saturday back-to-back set with the Raptors and 76ers, but he didn't leave the bench in either contest. He still managed to get injured at some point over the weekend or during Monday's practice, so Shumpert's Nets debut looks like it will be delayed until at least Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Nets' Iman Shumpert: To be available Friday
Rotowire
Shumpert will be available to make his Nets debut Friday against Toronto, Billy Reinhardt of Nets Daily reports.
Shumpert signed with the Nets over the weekend, but he had to clear COVID-19 protocols before officially joining the team. The veteran guard, who appeared in 13 games for Brooklyn a season ago, will be available off the bench for coach Steve Nash. In 2019-20, Shumpert averaged 4.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 18.5 minutes per game. He'll add some defensive tenacity to a roster in need of just that, but Shumpert is unlikely to be a fantasy consideration.
