Sixers rookie Zhaire Smith, the 16th overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft, injured his left foot on Monday in Las Vegas.
According to the team he is returning to Philadelphia to be further evaluated. Smith was participating in a camp run by Tim Grgurich, a longtime assistant NBA coach known for player development.
A 6-4 guard who averaged 11.3 points in his one season at Texas Tech, Smith’s rights were acquired on draft night by the Sixers in a trade with the Phoenix Suns in which the Sixers gave up No. 10 pick and former Villanova standout Mikal Bridges.
