Smith’s injury occurred with 3:30 remaining in the third quarter when he inadvertently stepped on the foot of Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie. At that point, Smith had played just 23 minutes and had contributed 21 points, five assists and two blocks, and was 9-of-17 from the field and 2-of-5 from behind the 3-point arc.
Smith’s career-high point total is 27, which he secured during a Nov. 14 contest against the San Antonio Spurs. And the most field goals he’s made in a game (11) occurred in a Jan. 16 game against the Denver Nuggets.
Plus, the two blocks Smith picked up against the Nets tied his career high.
