J.R. Smith has mostly been a gift to New York Knicks fans, but turned in a heavy dose of curse during the second round of the NBA Playoffs.
His offseason has taken a similar tone. After re-signing to the tune of four years and $24 million, it was determined that the reigning Sixth Man of the Year needed knee surgery.
J.R. Smith had patella tendon surgery & arthroscopy for a tear in the lateral meniscus, of his left knee, at the HSS in NYC.

J.R. Smith's injuries were chronic and gradually worsened. Recovery time is approximately 12-16 weeks.

Don't worry, fellow Knicks fans. I'm sure this will all turn out fine. It'll be fine. I'm sure of it.
