J.R Smith's left shoulder is fine, but the Nuggets guard hasn't played basketball since he was involved in a June 9 car accident, his father, Earl Smith Sr., said Friday.

Smith walked away from the accident with an injured left shoulder, but his best friend was killed.

Smith, 21, didn't show Friday morning at Lakewood Country Club for the J.R. Smith Youth Foundation Golf Outing, which helps provide academic scholarships. The tournament was the first benefit golf event for Smith's foundation.

Although Smith was a no- show, his father arrived at 7:30 a.m. and spoke on behalf of his son. Smith's mother, Ida Smith, also was in attendance.

"Physically, he's fine," the elder Smith said.
