Cleveland Cavaliers guard  J.R. Smith  was suspended one game by the team for throwing a bowl of soup at assistant coach Damon Jones  two people with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports on Friday.
 Smith  sat out Cleveland’s 108-97 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. The team announced shortly before the start of the game that  Smith  was suspended for detrimental conduct.
 Smith  had a history of fines and trouble before joining the Cavaliers midway through the 2014-15 season but had been  by most accounts  a good teammate and mostly problem-free since the trade from New York to Cleveland.
 Smith  is averaging 8.3 points and shooting 39.1% from the field and 36.3% on three-pointers this season.
