Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert left Wednesday's Game 2 against the Chicago Bulls early in the third quarter with a left groin strain, but returned later in the half.
Shumpert appeared to sustain the injury while getting his left leg tangled with Bulls forward Mike Dunleavy on a drive to the basket.
After asking out of the game, Shumpert could be seen telling LeBron James that he felt something pop, although soon after heading back to the locker room, Shumpert was riding a stationary bike and running short sprints in the hallway.
He returned to the game with 8:47 remaining in the fourth quarter and logged another four-plus minutes before being replaced by Shawn Marion with the Cavs up 22.
