For the second consecutive game, Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith will not suit up as the Cavs take on the Toronto Raptors in Tuesday night action at Quicken Loans Arena.
The news comes courtesy of Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue, who says that Smith has been dealing with a sore right ankle. Lue also went on to say that Smith “could’ve” played if he wanted to, however the team has decided to err on the side of caution.
