Cavs’ Smith sidelined with hyperextended left knee
CLEVELAND — Cavaliers starting shooting guard J.R. Smith will miss at least one game — and probably more — with a hyperextended left knee.
The Cavs said an MRI taken on Smith’s knee on Tuesday did not reveal any structural damage, but he will sit out Wednesday’s game against the New York Knicks. Smith got hurt in the first quarter of Cleveland’s win in Toronto on Monday night.
While his teammates flew to New York, Smith returned to Cleveland to undergo tests.
