Report: J.R. Smith (knee) had fluid buildup

 

J.R. Smith played through the postseason with a swollen left knee "that contained fluid buildup," a source told the New York Post.

 
According to the source, Smith is "likely" to have his knee drained at some point during the next two weeks. While this would certainly help to explain Smith's struggles in the playoffs, we're not buying into the idea that the knee was solely responsible for his shortcomings. He's expected to be fine well in advance of training camp, but it's unknown where he'll be. He has until June 25 to exercise his player option for next year, or he'll be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Damn, seems like injuries hit at the worst time possible for us.. first Tyson's back, then Melo's shoulder, now JR's knee...
 
I havent been so ready for a NBA season to start lol really interested to see what we'll do during the offseason, roster wise.
