Posted December 05, 2016 6:00 am
TORONTO (AP) - Cleveland guard J.R. Smith left the Cavaliers' against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night with a left knee injury.
Smith landed awkwardly and jammed his knee after making a jump shot with 1:52 to play in the first quarter. After hobbling back down the court in noticeable pain, he lay face down on the floor and thumped the court with his fist in frustration. The Cavaliers responded by calling a timeout and Smith then limped back to the dressing room while biting a towel.
The Cavaliers said Smith would not return.
