Professional darts player Michael Smith disclosed his ongoing health struggles, including arthritis in his right hand and a shoulder injury. Following a first-round loss at the revamped World Masters, Smith felt compelled to address speculation regarding his performance decline post-2023 World Championship victory. He explained his history of injuries, which date back to breaking both wrists at 19. Smith intends to consult a specialist to better understand his condition and is determined to return to form, dismissing claims of him being finished in the sport.
I've never given up or stopped from any pain. I played a World final with a broken hand. I made a UK Open final with a hole in my groin.
For 3/4 years I've been fighting something else. I broke both my wrists when I was 19 and now it's catching up with me and now suffering with arthritis to my right hand.
