INDEPENDENCE, Ohio – The Cavaliers could be missing two rotation players for their big showdown Sunday with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Newly acquired big man Channing Frye will not travel with the Cavs and hadn’t completed his physical as of Saturday. Meanwhile, Iman Shumpert (sprained left shoulder) didn’t practice and is a game-time decision.

Cavs’ Channing Frye has not completed physical, will not play vs. Thunder; Iman Shumpert questionable with shoulder injury Author: Jason Lloyd Publication: Akron Beacon Journal
INDEPENDENCE: Channing Frye’s debut with the Cavaliers will have to wait until Monday at the earliest.
Frye did not complete his physical in time to travel with the team to Oklahoma City and will not play in Sunday’s game against the Thunder. The Cavs have until Tuesday to satisfy the terms of the trade.
The team is being extra cautious with Frye, who missed the entire 2012-13 season after he was diagnosed with an enlarged heart. But he returned to play in all 82 games for the Phoenix Suns the following year and has not missed extended time to a significant injury since. – CLICK HERE to read full story.
