Smith's injury delays Reggiana's transfer plans

Roster planning at Italian Basketball League club Pallacanestro Reggiana has stalled because of an injury to point guard Speedy Smith. According to Gazzetta di Reggio, management will wait for a new medical evaluation to see how the injury develops. The evaluation is expected to take place within a week.

It is now confirmed that Smith will miss the matches against Treviso and Malaga. The problem stems from bone bruising in his right knee, not his left. Recovery time will become clearer after the new checks.

This situation also affects Rob Edwards. A few days ago, Edwards was seen as one of the most likely departures. However, with Smith and Rossato both injured, he has become important to the outside player rotation. For this reason, the club will closely monitor Edwards, at least in the Treviso and Malaga games.

Reggiana management's main goal is a play-guard signing who can run the offense, both for himself and for his teammates. However, if Smith's injury lasts longer, a temporary change at the point guard position could come onto the agenda first. The final decision on Edwards will be made according to these developments.
