Cavs guard Smith reveals premature birth of daughter

Los Angeles (AFP) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith's wife has given birth to the family's third daughter, Dakota, five months before she was due, the couple revealed on Saturday.

Dakota Smith is five days old and weighs one pound (0.45 kg), Smith and Jewel Harris said on Uninterrupted -- the online video platform for athletes that was created Smith's teammate LeBron James.

The Smiths announced on Uninterrupted in October that they were expecting.

"We know we're not the only family going through this, who has been through this or who will ever go through it," an emotional Harris said.
