Arizona forward Ray Smith (24) grimaces as he fall injured to the ground during Arizona's blow-out 86-35 exhibition win over the College of Idaho at McKale Center on Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2016.

Arizona redshirt freshman Ray Smith tore his right ACL during Tuesday’s exhibition game against College of Idaho and officially announced his retirement via social media from basketball Thursday afternoon.

Smith tore his left ACL in 2014 and spent his senior season rehabilitating to return for his freshman season at Arizona. Smith competed in the 2015 Red-Blue game only to tear his right ACL five days later.
