Q: Will Shumpert play this season? And will he opt in to the Kings next year?
– Iceduck7, @Sladek7
A: It would be a shock at this point if Iman Shumpert were to play this season. He's played in 14 games all season and with the Kings focused on their young players, there's no need to throw him into the mix.
Shumpert is almost certain to opt in for next season.
