Dru Smith Out for Season with Torn Achilles
Dru Smith, a point guard for the Miami Heat, is dealing with a torn Achilles. This injury means he will not play for the rest of the 2024-25 season. The injury was first reported on December 23rd, and it has been confirmed that he will be out indefinitely.
What It Means
This injury is significant for both Dru Smith and the Miami Heat. Smith had been contributing an average of 6.3 points per game this season. His shooting accuracy was impressive, with a field goal percentage of 50.8% and a three-point percentage of 53.3%. These numbers show his importance to the team’s offense.
With Smith out, the Heat will need to rely more on Terry Rozier at point guard.

Pelle Larsson may also see increased playing time as he is next in line on the depth chart.
