Coach Billy Donovan said Smith (knee) will not play in Monday's preseason matchup against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Smith has been dealing with knee soreness, though he is not expected to miss any time to start the regular season. The 24-year-old is expected to serve as the club's backup center behind Nikola Vucevic (rest), and with both absent Monday, the club will take an extended look at Adama Sanogo and Kenneth Lofton.
