Smith (heel) will not play Saturday, The Record's Steve Popper reports.

Analysis:

He had been doubtful, so this does not come as a surprise. This will be the sixth game he misses due to the heel injury. Coach Derek Fisher said Smith probably won't travel with the team for Sunday's game in Toronto, so that rules him out until at least Christmas Day against the Wizards. Tim Hardaway will continue to get the start at shooting guard for now.
