Smith is battling an illness and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis:

Both Smith and teammate Kyrie Irving are feeling under the weather and missed morning shootaround, so the pair will likely end up being close to game-time decisions. If Smith is held out, expect to see more of Iman Shumpert on the wing for the Cavaliers.
