ATLANTA (AP) - Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith has a strained tendon in his left
knee and is day-to-day for the playoff series against the Boston
Celtics.
Smith had an MRI on Wednesday morning, and the team
revealed details of the injury a few hours later. It's not known if
he'll be able to play in Game 3, which is on Friday night in Boston.
Smith
was injured in Atlanta's 87-80 loss to the Celtics, which evened the
series at one win apiece. He left for good with 4:20 remaining, and the
offense bogged down without his presence in the post.
The Hawks
already are playing without their top two centers, Al Horford and Zaza
Pachulia. Coach Larry Drew says he's worried about Smith's availability
with the series shifting to Boston for the next two games.
