Smith originally suffered the injury in Friday's win at Cleveland. He sat out the fourth quarter against the Cavaliers and wasn't in uniform Saturday against the Pacers. Zaza Pachulia got the start in Smith's place Saturday and had a big game with 17 points and 14 rebounds while matching up against Roy Hibbert.
Atlanta is without the services of Anthony Morrow and Devin Harris who remained in Atlanta nursing injuries. Morrow suffered a hip strain against the Cavaliers on Friday night while Harris has missed the last six games with a foot injury.
