J.R. Smith has been sentenced to at least 30 days in jail for causing an auto accident in which the passenger of his car was killed.
Smith was sentenced to 90 days, but is only expected to be locked up for 30 days if he completes 500 hours of community service. Smith admitted to driving through a stop sign and hitting another car in June 2007. His friend, passenger Andre Bell, died as a result of his injuries. No word yet on if Smith will be further penalized by the NBA.
