After suffering the injury some time during the first half of Game 2, Smith then sat out the entire second half. The shooting guard insisted that he was ready to play on Thursday, but the Cavs listed him as questionable before Lue's announcement.
Smith missed 36 games during the regular season due to a broken thumb.
