Smith supplied five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals over 12 minutes in Tuesday's 116-112 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
With trades and injuries having tested the Nets' depth of late, Smith has assumed backup point guard duties for the NBA team the past two games after he had played exclusively in the G League since inking a two-way deal with Brooklyn on Jan. 13. Though Smith averaged a respectable 3.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 12.5 minutes behind back-to-back losses to the Clippers and Suns, he'll presumably be headed out of the NBA rotation and back to the Long Island Nets if the newly acquired Spencer Dinwiddie is available to pay Thursday against the Bulls.

The Nets signed Smith to a two-way deal Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had been playing for Miami's G League affiliate -- the Sioux Falls Skyforce -- this season and averaged 17.8 points in 33.8 minutes across 15 appearances. He made five appearances with the Heat during that stretch, posting 2.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 13.4 minutes per game. Smith figures to report to the Long Island Nets after signing the deal, but he could get an NBA look soon, as Brooklyn continues to target depth contributors with Kevin Durant (knee) sidelined.

Smith was incredible Wednesday, posting team highs in assists and rebounds while approaching a triple-double. He should continue to be a primary contributor for the Skyforce and could receive some NBA looks if he maintains this form.
