Weber: Smith probably won't play against Arizona
CHAMPAIGN - Illini coach Bruce Weber said Thursday that shooting guard Jamar Smith probably won't play against Arizona in Saturday's Hall of Fame Challenge at U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix. But he left open the possibility that he might.Smith, who scored 19 points before he suffered a high ankle sprain early in the second half of the season opener on Nov. 13, returned to score 14 points last Saturday against Bradley, but was pulled after 15 scoreless minutes Tuesday against Maryland when Weber determined Smith was having trouble keeping up."I'm going to tell you I don't think he's not going to play right now, but it could change," Weber said Thursday. "Our thought right now is that he's not hurting himself when he plays, but he doesn't have any strength in (his ankle) and he kind of regresses."I don't know if we're going to make any progress with it.
