Dru Smith Sidelined After Tweaking Right Calf in Miami

Miami Heat point guard Dru Smith is set to miss a couple of weeks due to a strained right calf. This injury represents a significant setback for Smith, who was penciled in as the primary backup behind Davion Mitchell. If the recovery timeline holds true, he could potentially return in time for the team's final preseason contest on October 16, though it compresses his preparation window significantly before the start of the regular season.
