And now we have our update: according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports, Smith suffered a Jones fracture in his left foot, an injury which should not be unfamiliar to Sixers fans- the Jones fracture is what Ben Simmons had during his first training camp, an injury that caused him to miss the entire 2016-17 campaign.
