Following a 106-95 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to grab their fifth-straight win Sunday in Oklahoma City against the Thunder.
In their last match-up, the Cavs emerged victorious over the Thunder at Quicken Loans Arena, 104-100, on Dec. 17.
But the Cavs will be without Iman Shumpert Sunday -- the guard is sidelined after he sprained his left shoulder in the team’s win over the Bulls Thursday.
Newly acquired Cavs forward Channing Frye did not accompany the team to Oklahoma City, further delaying his debut for Cleveland. Frye did not practice as expected Saturday and continued to go through medical exams.
Frye, who was obtained in a trade from Orlando on Thursday, missed the 2012-13 season with a heart condition. The trade involved sending Anderson Varejao to Portland. But Cavs coach Tyron Lue said there’s “no concern at all” Frye won’t be cleared to play.
The Cavs lead the central division, while the Thunder top the Northwest.
