JR Smith to pay $600 to fan whose cell phone he tossed

Cleveland Cavaliers guard JR Smith has agreed to pay $600 to a fan whose cell phone he tossed into a New York City construction site this summer, his lawyer said.

Smith was given a ticket for misdemeanour criminal mischief after the incident in late July, which the fan said happened after he tried to take a picture with the Cavaliers player, who previously played for the New York Knicks.

Alex Spiro, Smith's lawyer, and a Manhattan prosecutor said Wednesday that an adjournment-in-contemplation-of-dismissal agreement should be finalized at the next court appearance. Spiro told reporters Smith will pay $600 in restitution.

Smith, 32, is due in court Nov. 15 for his arraignment, but he was not present Wednesday.
