Cleveland's J.R. Smith tweaks right thumb in Game 1 win on Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith tweaked his right thumb in the Cavs' Game 1 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
What It Means:
That's the same thumb that Smith had surgery on earlier in the season, which caused him to miss nearly three months of action. Smith is expected to be fine, and he won't even undergo an X-ray, according to Cleveland.com reporter Joe Vardon, but this is something to watch, and his minutes may be limited a bit if the Cavs continue to blow out the Raptors the way they did in Game 1.
Smith didn't have an especially strong showing on Tuesday, scoring six points with two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes of action and finishing fifth among Cavs players with a 2.9 nERD, per numberFire Live.
