New York Deals Smith To Spurs

Associated Press

NBA

The San Antonio Spurs acquired forwards Charles Smith and Monty Williams from the New York Knicks on Thursday night in exchange for J.R. Reid, Brad Lohaus and a 1996 first-round draft pick.

The Spurs will ask Smith to fill a void at power forward.

For the Knicks, the main benefit is dealing away two players with long-term contracts.

Mashburn to undergo surgery

Jamal Mashburn, out with an injured left knee since Dec. 12, likely will miss the rest of the season for the Dallas Mavericks after deciding to have surgery next week.

Jason Kidd had 25 assists, the most in the NBA this season, and Jim Jackson scored 38 points as Dallas outlasted Utah in two overtimes.
