Rockets' Jabari Smith: Cleared to play Wednesday

Smith (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against Cleveland, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Smith will shake off a questionable designation to avoid missing his second game of the season. The 2022 first-rounder is handling his usual role in the starting lineup. On the year, Smith has averaged 14.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 33.0 minutes per contest over 11 games.
