ORLANDO, Fla. - After battling an illness in Cleveland, J.R. Smith joined his teammates in Orlando and went through a full practice Sunday at Freedom High School.

"I feel great. Compared to then, I feel 100 percent better," Smith told cleveland.com.

Guard Matthew Dellavedova was held out of practice with lower back soreness. It's not expected to cause any missed games.

Smith had a bug, the same one he says Kevin Love had not too long ago. He wasn't able to be with the team when it left Thursday, and missed Friday's blowout win over the Orlando Magic, his fourth missed game of the season.

He arrived in Orlando on Saturday. He said if he wasn't feeling better after a day or so, he was "absolutely" prepared to sit out the entire two-game road trip that ends in Boston on Tuesday.

"I had a 24-hour virus or whatever the doctor wanted to call it," he said. "So, I just had to stay away from the team and make sure it didn't flow throughout the team."

With Smith back, the team's depth at shooting guard is strong. Returning from preseason wrist surgery, Iman Shumpert was spectacular in his season debut on Friday, finishing with 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting to go with three rebounds off the bench in 24 minutes.

"Amazing," Smith said of Shumpert's performance. "He looked like the Shump of old. He was just all over the floor, getting his hand on deflections, playing with so much energy and pride like he always does. I was proud of him. I've seen him battling injuries over and over and over again, but the way he came back the last game was impressive."

The expectation is Shumpert will eventually rejoin the first unit, perhaps as soon as Tuesday.

"The expectation is, and he's already done it, that he's going to move into a winning lineup," coach David Blatt said, evading the starting lineup specifics. "Because he helps us win. How and when we're going to move things around, we'll see. No particular hurry with that."

Blatt hasn't informed either player -- or Jared Cunningham, who started the last game -- of his decision. According to Smith, it doesn't matter who starts.

"Nah, we don't even talk about that," Smith said. "Because whoever coach puts in the lineup whether it be myself, Jared [Cunningham], Shump, it doesn't even matter because with this team, we're so dynamic. You can go with so many different lineups. It could change daily if you wanted it to."
