The Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Boston Celtics out of the postseason and they may have to proceed without J.R. Smith for the time being.
The Cleveland Cavaliers may have to operate without Kevin Love moving forward in the postseason, but they might be without J.R. Smith for different reasons. Where Love is injured, J.R. Smith was ejected from Game 4 against the Boston Celtics and faces a suspension from the NBA.
Less than 12 hours after he was booted from Game 4, Smith is letting Adam Silver and the NBA know that he’s sorry for what he did and is begging for forgiveness and no suspension.
