Today, Lakers player Smart was interviewed after training.

Smart talked about his Achilles tendinopathy and said that the process of dealing with this injury was like riding a psychological roller coaster, with ups and downs of emotions. He revealed that imaging examinations showed that the strength of the Achilles tendon itself is normal, but the problem of nerve irritation still needs to be dealt with.

Smart plans to participate in the preseason, but he is still unsure whether he can play in the next game.

Smart missed the team's first two preseason games.
