"I felt like a pushed the limit a few times," Dellavedova said Wednesday after being released from the hospital, via ESPN.com. "That's the most tired I've been. I'm feeling good now, though."
Cavs coach David Blatt said Dellavedova’s “tank is low, but we're doing everything we can to fill it back up."
As for Iman Shumpert, who injured his left shoulder running into a Draymond Green screen and finished the game after a short trip to the locker room, had an MRI on Wednesday that showed no structural damage, just a bruise.
"I'm all right, this isn't the regular season," Shumpert said. "It would take a lot for me not to play, there would have to be structural damage."
Despite the minor injuries suffered in Game 3, Matthew Dellavedova and Iman Shumpert will both play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
