Smith (illness) was sent home from Monday's practice, Jonah Ballow of NYKnicks.com reports.

Analysis:

Smith fell ill over the weekend and was limited to just six minutes against the Heat on Sunday. A day later, he doesn't appear to be feeling much better, so coach Derek Fisher sent him home to gain some extra rest. The Knicks play host to the Nets on Tuesday night, and Smith should be considered questionable to play at this time.
