According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Smith got in trouble for chucking a bowl of soup at Cavaliers’ assistant coach, Damon Jones. Although the details of the altercation remain unclear, head coach Tyronn Lue said he had a “little discussion” with Smith in his return on Friday.

Smith also opted out of a media conference on Friday. In the meantime though, Twitter had a field day with the report.

“The wonder of Jr Smith is that you could’ve given us all a billion guesses at what he did to get suspended and nobody would’ve ever guessed “he threw a bowl of soup at Damon Jones,” one user said.

“How mad do you have to be to throw a bowl of soup,” another wrote.
