300th Game

With only five years in his NBA career, Shumpert doesn’t have too many games in the books. But with 294 already in the books, he’s just six games away from hitting 300. So he’ll most definitely be able to hit that milestone, barring any season-ending injury within the first five games. Shumpert has had his fair share of injuries, which has made his career average of games played just 58.8. But if he can play that average, and we’re hoping he’ll play more this year, he’ll not only reach 300 games but he can reach 350.
