Smith fractured his left, non-shooting hand at shootaround before the Boston game and it will require surgery, coach Ime Udoka told reporters. How long he will be out will depend upon the surgery. Udoka said Smith would miss 4-6 weeks, but it could be a couple of weeks longer, depending upon the situation.

The Houston Rockets were dealt a painful blow when Jabari Smith Jr. was put on the injury report after breaking his hand. The Rockets won't have Smith for the next 4-8 weeks, and during that time, things will change for the team.
