Prep Hoops: Kentwood's Josh Smith to have injury reexamined

UCLA-bound Josh Smith, Kentwood's 6-foot-10 basketball standout, is scheduled to have his injured knee reexamined today.

By Seattle Times staff

Josh Smith, Kentwood's 6-foot-10 basketball star who has signed with UCLA, will revisit his doctor Friday to find out more about the knee injury he suffered Tuesday.

Smith had X-rays and an MRI on his right knee Wednesday and wore a brace Thursday at school.

Kentwood coach Michael Angelidis originally reported that the injury was a partially torn patellar tendon, but Smith's mother did not confirm that in a phone call Thursday.

"I don't want to speculate," Tracey Smith said. "It's being evaluated. ... He doesn't need surgery. It's not an ACL."

Angelidis said Thursday that he expects Smith to be out "about a week," and that the knee would be re-evaluated by a doctor next week. But Tracey Smith later said she got her son an appointment for Friday. She would not comment on his possible return.

"I have no idea," she said.
