Smith’s status still unclear after early exit in TNT loss
TNT coach Nash Racela had little to say about the status of his import Joshua Smith after the KaTropa’s 125-101 Game 3 loss in the 2017 PBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinals Thursday night.
“I don’t know. No idea. I can say something here, but I really have no idea,” Racela told reporters when asked for updates on Smith.
Smith played a measly nine minutes on the floor, contributing just four points and seven rebounds before complaining about pain in his right foot and leaving the arena early.
He left the game with 6:54 remaining in the second quarter as team doctors tended on his supposed injury, then exited to the dugout midway in the third period and out of the venue even before the game ended.
Racela explained that it was a team decision to take Smith out of the court so that the medics can assess
his situation better.
“It’s a decision by the team. We just want to make sure that he’s ok,” he said.
