Josh Smith to start Friday despite sore elbow
Josh Smith - F - Atlanta Hawks
April 22, 2011 - 10:40 AM ET

Josh Smith confirmed that he will start Friday's game despite his sore elbow.

Smith was effective in Game 2 despite the injury (17 points, 8-of-14 shooting) and will need to play well for Atlanta to avoid falling behind 1-2 in the series. It would also be nice if he stopped launching 3-pointers -- he attempted four of them in Game 2, just one off his season-high.
