The 2013-14 campaign saw Smith average 9.7 points and a career-best 5.8 rebounds until mid-January, when season-ending surgery was required to remove loose cartilage in his right knee.
A knee injury also forced Smith to miss the entire 2008-09 season, and constant injuries have limited him to 122 games over the past three years.
