J.R. Smith has not been actively with the Cleveland Cavaliers in a while. As Bleacher Report’s Joseph Zucker noted, Smith has not been played since Nov. 19, which was a loss to the Detroit Pistons. Smith is still on Cleveland, but is not actively with the team, and a league source told Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal (h/t the aforementioned Zucker), there “will be no buyout discussions” with Smith.
On the season, Smith’s averaged 6.7 points on just 41.8 percent effective field goal shooting and 1.9 assists in 20.
