In 51 games, Jason Smith averaged 8.2 points and 3.6 rebounds.

Per the Times-Picayune: As expected, the New Orleans Hornets announced Sunday they have signed former Georgetown C/F Henry Sims to a 10-day contract to fill the void caused by forward Jason Smith's season-ending shoulder injury. Sims, 6 feet 10, 245 pounds, started 36 games this season for the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League and averaged 17.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 32.8 minutes per game. Sims was selected as an NBA D-League All-Star last month and is coming off a 21-point, 12- rebound performance against the Maine Red Claws on March 1. Sims played in t...

Let it sink in, folks. The next time that we see Jason Smith, he will be a Pelican. Due to a torn labrum, the reoccurring issue for Dwight Howard by the way, Jason Smith will have surgery on his shoulder and miss the rest of the season. It was a second consecutive solid year for Smith; who really brings invaluable grit and heart to the roster, but one that also saw him miss frequent time with injuries (a problem for a few players on the team, it seems). Moving forward, the team will probably need to look elsewhere for another big man. Complicating matters even further is that Anth...

Anthony Davis will not play Friday night against Pistons

Coming into tonight's matchup, the Hornets needed one of those generational miracles to pull out a victory. Three of our best six players were sidelined: Anthony Davis (shoulder), Eric Gordon (no back to backs) and Jason Smith (shoulder). In addition, the Thunder are fantastic at home, losing only 4 times in 30 games. Welp, it didn't happen. Although the Hornets did manage to hang around until about 4 minutes into the 2nd quarter, the Thunder thumped the Hornets the rest of the way, outscoring New Orleans 81-44. The game became so uncompetitive that Kevin Durant had himself a triple do...

It was already a great night for Vince Carter, as he pulled up for a three over Jason Smith with less than a dozen seconds left in the game. He already had 19 points and nine rebounds and had passed Gary Payton for 28th on the all-time NBA scoring list. The basketball swishing home to give the Mavericks a narrow two-point advantage made Vince's night even sweeter. Somehow, someway, the Mavericks pulled out a victory of the soon-to-be New Orleans Pelicans (I'm not going to call them the Hornets this entire recap, just so you know). It was a little rough and a little rocky, but our own ...
