Smith (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will likely be available after missing two straight games due to a knee injury. However, he has had a volatile role with the Heat, and he's not guaranteed to see any rotation minutes on a nightly basis.

Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is slated to miss a second straight game due to a knee injury. His role has been sporadic this season, so his absence shouldn't impact Miami's rotation, especially considering the Heat are getting Terry Rozier (foot) back from a two-game absence.

Smith (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Smith missed Sunday's game against Dallas due to a right knee bone bruise he suffered in Friday's practice, but he remains day-to-day. When the Heat are healthy, Smith faces an uphill battle for consistent minutes.

Smith (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is dealing with swelling in his right knee and wasn't able to participate in Friday's practice. The reserve guard has officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest, and his absence could open up opportunities for Alec Burks and Josh Richardson. Smith's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Milwaukee.

Smith didn't participate in Friday's practice due to a swollen knee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Terry Rozier (foot) out for Miami's most recent contest, Smith logged 25 minutes of action. However, with Rozier nearing a return to the lineup, Smith will likely return to a depth role in the team's backcourt. Regardless, the 26-year-old guard's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability for Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

Smith won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

With most of Miami's regulars resting during the preseason finale, Smith drew a spot start. However, aside from Josh Richardson (shoulder), the Heat are healthy heading into the regular season, so Smith isn't guaranteed playing time on Opening Night.

Smith is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

The Heat are resting most of their regulars in the preseason finale since the start of the regular season is right around the corner. Smith will get the nod at point guard in place of Terry Rozier (rest) and will play alongside Pelle Larsson in the backcourt.

Smith (knee) agreed to a two-way contract with the Heat on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

This signing presumably means that Smith has returned to health following a season-ending knee injury that limited him to nine games during the 2023-24 campaign. He averaged 4.3 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in nine appearances before going down with the injury. Smith figures to split time between the Heat and the club's G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Smith was cut upon Miami's signing of Patty Mills on Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. Smith is out for the season after tearing his ACL in November.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will look to earn another opportunity next season following his eventual return to health. The 26-year-old averaged 4.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists across nine appearances for Miami, although he was averaging a respectable 14.6 minutes before suffering a serious fluke injury in which he appeared to fall through an abnormality on the court in Cleveland.

The Heat announced Friday that Smith (knee) is expected to miss the remainder of the season, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

An MRI revealed a third-degree right knee sprain for Smith, which will result in a premature end to his season. The second-year guard averaged 4.3 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 triples across 14.6 minutes in nine games. His absence will thin the depth in Miami's backcourt until they make a corresponding move.
