After Dakota was born prematurely in January, Smith told ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne her health was of the utmost importance. 

"I'll be happy when I can bring her home, but until then, it's something I want to keep in the front of my mind all the time," he said in March. 

"I talk to my wife about it. Just keep having conversations about it. It's pretty much the only thing that relieves some of the pressure."

Smith scored five points in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday night at Quicken Loans Arena.
