WASHINGTON -- Iman Shumpert suffered a sprained left ankle late in the third quarter of the Cavs' 140-135 win in overtime Monday night and did not return to the game.

An X-ray on Shumpert's ankle was negative, but he left the Verizon Center with his left foot in a protective boot and with the help of crutches. He appeared to suffer the injury after stepping on Kevin Love's foot while trying to defend a nasty, stepback move for a jumper by Washington's Bradley Beal.

The Cavs are off Tuesday and play the Pacers in Indianapolis on Wednesday. If Shumpert is going to be out for any length of time, it would leave the team with just 11 healthy players.

That's a predicament the Cavs have faced -- playing with four fewer players than the NBA allows -- several times over the past two months. It remains to be seen if general manager David Griffin would sign someone to a 10-day contract if Shumpert is going to miss more than one game.

Last week, free agent wing Lance Stephenson worked out for the Cavs.

Shumpert did not score against the Wizards in 24 minutes. He took two shots and didn't have an assist, either.

Shumpert, inserted into the starting lineup at shooting guard Jan. 13, is shooting a career-best .431 from the field and .405 from 3-point range this season.

Coach Tyronn Lue could choose to start Kyle Korver in Shumpert's place (13 points Monday night), though Lue has said he prefers to bring Korver off the bench as a scorer with the second unit. In that case, DeAndre Liggins could return to the lineup if Shumpert is out.
