Former Knicks guard J.R. Smith and his wife revealed Saturday that their baby girl, Dakota, was born five months early — and weighs only a single pound.
“We have very important news,” the Cleveland Cavalier tells the camera, his voice somber, in a video posted Saturday to Uninterrupted.
“We know we’re not the only family going through this,” Smith’s wife of five months, Jewel, then says.
“That’s why we decided to share what we’re going through with you guys. Please keep us in your prayers and we’ll do the same for everyone else.”
The couple did not reveal details of the baby’s condition or location.
