MIAMI -- Assistant coach Keith Smart is back with the Miami Heat after completing cancer treatment and is expected to resume many of his normal duties during the playoffs.
Smart, 51, worked with the team for the second consecutive day Saturday as the Heat prepared for Game 1 on Sunday of their opening-round matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Before returning to Miami on Thursday from his home in California, Smart had missed most of the season after twice leaving the team to treat a rare form of skin cancer that had spread along the left side of his face.
