On Wednesday, Jason Smith begins the difficult road back to the basketball court.

The 76ers' 6-foot-11 backup center, and first-round pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, will have surgery in New York City to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, this according to Smith's agent, Marc Bartelstein.

"Jason's doing well," Bartelstein said. "He's anxious to do the surgery and get started on the rehab process."
