Iman Shumpert says he's going to work on improving his point guard skills this summer.
Shumpert played some point guard during his rookie year but was used off the ball more this season. However, with Jason Kidd possibly retiring and Pablo Prigioni an unrestricted free agent, Shumpert could be asked to spell Raymond Felton next season. Shumpert also said he wants to work on his midrange game, which could go a long way to increasing his fantasy value next season. May 23 - 4:09 PM

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert called the Knicks season a failure at his exit interview on Monday.

"I think we failed," he said. "We failed to do what we were supposed to do. We know we were supposed to go farther and we didn't. So it's a fail." It's refreshing to hear Shumpert's honest assessment of the team, and his play was one of the few bright spots for the Knicks down the stretch as the team struggled against the Pacers. "Just we've got to hold each other accountable, come next year," Shumpert added. "Little things like not playing hard should never come into play."

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert said the Knicks want him to play in summer league.

Shumpert has never played in summer league so this could be his first opportunity to do so. After showing what he's capable of at both ends of the floor in the postseason, we wouldn't expect Shumpert's minutes at summer league to be extensive if he does wind up playing.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert nearly salvaged Game 6 for the Knicks on Saturday, scoring 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting with five 3-pointers.

Carmelo Anthony's 39-point game wasn't enough, and neither was Shumpert's scintillating third quarter which erased a substantial deficit and briefly allowed the Knicks to take the lead. The problem was that everyone else on the Knicks shot a combined 28.3 percent from the field -- J.R. Smith went 4-of-15, Raymond Felton was 0-of-7, and Jason Kidd finished his season with an incredible 10-game scoreless streak.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert said his scoreless performance in Game 4 was not due to his sore left knee.

Shumpert underwent an MRI on the knee on Tuesday but said today he was not bothered by it at practice. Shumpert only played 20 minutes in Game 4 due to a "coach's decision" by Mike Woodson, but we wouldn't be surprised if the notoriously shifty Knicks are hiding something. We'll have to wait and see if Shumpert is limited in any way in Game 5.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Mike Woodson confirmed that Iman Shumpert's benching was a coach's decision.

Shumpert's knee is structurally sound, but he didn't look right during his time on the floor. "I decided to play him under 20, and it didn’t have to do with anything,’’ Woodson said. Shumpert was scoreless on six shots, and we wouldn't be surprised if his effectiveness is compromised for the remainder of New York's season. "I guess there's still some swelling, but I feel a lot better," Shumpert said.

Updating a previous item, Iman Shumpert is not in the game due to poor shooting.

On an interview with TNT's Rachel Nichols, Mike Woodson said that Shumpert isn't in the game due to shooting 0-for-5. Shumpert was getting ice on his knee and has been glued to the bench since. Woodson said he will use Chris Copeland and Steve Novak to hopefully provide a spark to the Knicks' struggling offense.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert left Monday's game in the first quarter with an apparent knee injury and is available to return.

He didn't go to the locker room and is just sitting on the bench receiving treatment on his knee. Shumpert had an MRI that revealed no structural damage to his surgically-repaired knee, but he's obviously dealing with some soreness. Interestingly, Shumpert didn't miss any games since returning from his ACL tear on January 17 and this is really the first sign of trouble. Check back for updates.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert's knee MRI revealed no structural damage and he will start in Tuesday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

Shumpert can breathe a sigh of relief as he hasn't sustained any kind of setback in the same left knee he tore the ACL in last year. Coach Mike Woodson said Shumpert's minutes will depend on how he's moving. He's averaging 29.9 minutes a night through the first nine games of the playoffs.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert is still expected to have an MRI on his left knee.

The concern is that Shumpert is experiencing discomfort in his left knee -- the same one that he tore his ACL in 13 months ago. His status for Tuesday night's Game 4 remains unclear.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert (knee) needs to be reevaluated by an orthopedic specialist, and he is a game-time decision for Tuesday's Game 4 vs. the Pacers.

Not good. Shumpert said that he expected to play, but players are always more optimistic than they should be. Since he's dealing with soreness and swelling, Mike Woodson admitted to being "concerned" about Shumpert, and the Georgia Tech product did not go through shootaround on Tuesday. He'll likely be a true game-time decision, and his absence would put more pressure on guys like Raymond Felton, Pablo Prigioni and Jason Kidd.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert (bruised left knee) expects to play in Game 4 on Tuesday, though he may not be 100 percent healthy.

Shumpert's knee "bent backward" during Game 3 and he hasn't practiced since due to soreness. The injury may be related to a recent increase in playing time for Shumpert, but fortunately it isn't related to his ACL surgery from last season. "In my mind, I'm playing [on Tuesday]," he said. "Unless I get out there and I can't do what I'm supposed to do, I don't think it will stop me from playing."

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert (sore left knee), J.R. Smith (illness) and Kenyon Martin (illness) did not practice on Monday, and both Smith and Martin are considered game-time calls on Tuesday.

Shumpert's absence is extremely troubling given that his left knee is the one that is surgically-repaired after he tore his ACL last season, but Mike Woodson expects him to be available on Tuesday. Smith and Martin are fighting the flu bug, and it would be a surprise if either missed a must-win Game 4 on Tuesday, but it looks like their status could go right down to the wire.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Doc Rivers called Iman Shumpert the Knicks' best player during Friday's clinching Game 6 win.

Shumpert had 17 points, six rebounds, three 3-pointers and two assists in arguably his best game this season. He also had the biggest steal of the game, stripping Paul Pierce and coasting in for a layup to help halt a Celtics run with 5:06 left in the fourth quarter. Shumpert appears to be rounding into form one year after tearing his ACL in the Knicks' first-round series.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert admitted that his preference is to be a ballhandler, but he's happy to do whatever the Knicks ask of him.

"I'm used to having the ball and getting into a rhythm that way," he said. "[But] if they want me to [do] something else, then I've got to do what they want me to do," he added. He doesn't sound unhappy about his role at all so we're not putting much stock into this.
