General manager Ed Stefanski said Smith suffered the injury during normal basketball activity on Wednesday. Smith was examined by team physician Dr. Jack McPhilemy on Thursday and will receive a second opinion from Dr. Dave Altchek in the coming weeks. "It's unfortunate that this happened, but Jason is resilient and he'll receive the best treatment available," Stefanski said. "I was there, along with Coach Cheeks and (assistant general manager) Tony DiLeo, when the injury occurred, which was during a routine, five-on-five drill at an NBA-approved camp held in Las Vegas. There was no contact made with Jason when he suffered the injury. "At this point, we will continue to explore all available options in order to add an additional big man to our roster." A 7-footer, Smith averaged 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 76 games during his rookie campaign. In the recently completed Las Vegas Summer League, he averaged 18.6 points and 8.0 rebounds in five games.
