Smith was at practice Wednesday and has a chance to play against the Rockets, Chris Haynes of CSN reports.

Analysis:

Smith, who was dealt to Cleveland on Monday, was not participating in Wednesday's session, but he was at the facility watching from the sideline. Coach David Blatt indicated Smith could play Wednesday, but an official call has not been made. It hinges on the official completion of Monday's deal. Both Smith and Iman Shumpert have completed their respective physicals, but they cannot play in a game until Dion Waiters passes his with the Thunder. If Smith does take the court, Smith could see a decent minutes load, but he's a risky daily play in his first action with a new team.
