Report: J.R. Smith injures thumb, Cavs fear possible break
Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith had X-rays on a right thumb injury after leaving Tuesday's 114-108 overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks, and the team fears Smith broke the thumb, reports ESPN.com.
Smith left in the first half in game after scoring six points in 17 minutes and appears to have been injured after swiping down on Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The team said X-rays that were taken at the arena were inconclusive and that Smith will be examined back in Cleveland on Wednesday.
