The Cleveland Cavaliers have suspended guard JR Smith for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers for detrimental conduct, the team announced.

Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said "something happened after shootaround" Thursday that led to Smith's one-game suspension.

A team source told ESPN's Dave McMenamin the suspension is from a team-related issue, nothing off the court. Smith was at shootaround Thursday.

Rodney Hood will start in place of Smith when the Cavaliers host the 76ers at Quicken Loans Arena.

Lue said Smith will be back at practice Friday and will be back in the starting lineup on Saturday against Denver.
