CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavalier J.R. Smith shared a photo Thursday of his newborn daughter, Dakota, who arrived last week five months early.

In the photo, posted to the guard's Instagram account, Smith's daughter Demi can bee seen smiling as she peers into a NICU bed, and Dakota's tiny toes are visible.

Smith and his wife, Jewel Harris, announced Dakota's birth in a video message to fans on Uninterrupted.com last week.

Smith has not played for the Cavaliers since undergoing surgery on his right thumb in December.
