Miami Heat guard Dru Smith has suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.

The injury is absolutely devastating after the two-way guard made a tremendous recovery from a torn ACL just over a year ago to the Heat’s rotation now and was on cusp of a standard NBA contract.

Smith, who turns 27 on Monday, was averaging career-highs of 6.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 19.1 minutes per game this season.
