Chris Smith tears ACL, out for season

The 2020-21 season has not ended the way Chris Smith thought it would after he opted to return to the UCLA Bruins for one more season instead of entering the 2020 NBA Draft this past summer.

Smith tore his ACL in his left knee during the victory over Utah this past week and will miss the remainder of the season.

“After speaking with our team doctors and medical staff, I’m confident that Chris will make a quick and full recovery,” head coach Mick Cronin said. “Obviously, he is very disappointed and his teammates feel for him.
