J.R. Smith left Tuesday’s game after just 17 minutes of action after suffering an injury to his right thumb in the first half. He’ll have the thumb examined Wednesday in Cleveland.
Smith, who hasn’t been having his best season, has been having a tough time this season. Cleveland’s favorite son has suffered through the worst shooting slump in his career and has been injured for what seems like the whole season. While he passed Craig Ehlo in Cavs history in his last game, surpassing Ehlo’s 381 three-pointers made with four bombs against the Los Angeles Lakers, and was 2-of-4 from three-point range tonight before leaving the game, it seems as if Smith just can’t catch a break.
