Heat lose guard Dru Smith for remainder of season with torn Achilles

Associated Press  

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith has suffered another season-ending injury, this one a torn Achilles in his left leg. Smith also saw his 2021-22 season with Miami’s Sioux Falls affiliate in the G League cut short by a knee injury. “You don’t want to see anybody get hurt, but we all have such incredible, deep respect for his journey and what he’s had to overcome,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Monday night, before the full extent of the injury was confirmed. Smith’s 2023-24 season ended when he hurt the ACL in his right knee after slipping off a raised portion of the floor in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers bench on Nov. 22, 2023, that mishap also requiring season-ending surgery and several months of recovery.
