Smith (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against the Pacers, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

Despite originally being expected to play, Smith will sit out Sunday's game as he continues to deal with the right knee bruise he suffered about a week ago. With Smith heading to the bench, Matthew Dellavedova and Richard Jefferson should see extended court time. Smith's status for Tuesday's game against the Jazz remains in question.
