Exits game Friday Smith suffered an apparent leg injury during Friday's showdown with Michigan State, FOX Sports reports.

Impact Smith was helped off the court but walked to the locker room under his own power after suffering a right leg injury. The 6-foot sophomore, who's leg appeared to hyperextend when attempting a layup was caught on the tv broadcast yelling the F word on the ground following the play. Smith's status moving forward will be closely monitored, but the fact that the sophomore guard walked into the tunnel under his own power sheds some optimism on the situation.
