INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- JR Smith was limited in the Cleveland Cavaliers' first training camp practice on Tuesday.
The team was on the floor for about two and a half hours, going through offensive and defensive sets and trying to get into the shape head coach Tyronn Lue demands for the new playing style. Only Smith wasn't able to participate for the duration because of a sore hip.
"He did a little bit today, but he didn't do the whole practice," Lue said.
Smith is battling a plethora of other players for consistent minutes at shooting guard this season and needs a quality training camp after back-to-back poor campaigns.
