Smith (5) shoots against Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol, center, as Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (13) looks on in the first half of an NBA basketball game, in Memphis, Tenn. Cavaliers starting guard Smith will miss at least three months following surgery on his right thumb, a major injury that will have a ripple effect for the NBA champions. The team said Smith, who sustained a “complex fracture” earlier this week in a game at Milwaukee, will need 12 to 14 weeks of recovery time. The NBA playoffs begin in mid-April.
