J.R. Smith: Suspended For Games 1 And 2

Smith has been suspended for two games after striking Boston's Jae Crowder in the face during Sunday's series-clinching Game 4, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

As expected, Smith will face additional discipline from the league after he was ejected from Sunday's game. He'll sit out the first two games of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, joining Kevin Love (shoulder), who has been ruled out for the series, on the sideline. Iman Shumpert is the top candidate to move into the starting lineup in Smith's place, and shooters James Jones and Mike Miller could also pick up some extra minutes.
