Finally found a source on the rumor that Jason Smith hurt his knee this week. Philly.com is reporting...
Jason Smith, the 76ers' second-year big man, is likely to miss
several months after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament
in his left knee. Smith went down Wednesday night during a
session at Tim Grgurich's nationally-renowned skills camp in
Las Vegas. - philly.com
This is really the first bad news surrounding the Sixers this summer. It's sucks for Smith as he is coming off a decent summer league and was expected to really contribute behind Samuel Dalembert. He is getting re-evaluated, but the early diagnosis is a torn ligament and that means a long rehabilitation process. Hopefully he can bounce back strong from this set-back late in the season or next year. Two years in a row now the Sixers lose big man depth due to off-season injuries.
What does this mean for the Sixers...

With the acquisition of Elton Brand, power forward/center Jason Smith didn't figure to get a ton of minutes with the Sixers, but he still figured to be a key contributor off the bench. Unfortunately, after tearing his ACL in his knee during practice, it appears Smith could miss most, if not all, of the coming season. He may or may not need surgery, but either way, Smith will...
