J.R. Smith (knee) will play for Cavaliers on Tuesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith (right knee) will play in Tuesday's game versus the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
It was confirmed Smith would play, but it's unknown whether or not he will return to the starting lineup. Either way, Richard Jefferson and Jared Cunningham lose whatever semblance of value they had.
Smith is shooting 27.6 percent from the field in four games played this season, including 14.3 percent from long range. An early year shooting slump is typical for Smith, but he's probably not bucking the trend tonight against a Jazz team that has the best defense in the NBA and is currently ranked fourth on numberFire.
