Greg Smith (knee) went through shootaround on Wednesday and said that he's ready to return vs. the Lakers. The Rockets may end up keeping Omer Asik (knee) on the roster, which does Smith no favors as he's already averaging under 10 minutes per game behind Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones.

Greg Smith (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. His availability for Wednesday's game is unclear but he seems doubtful given his deluge of injury-related DNPs this season. In nine appearances this season, Smith is averaging 3.3 points in under 10 minutes per game.

Greg Smith suffered a knee injury in Monday's practice. He can't shake his knee injury and has missed more games than he's played due to injury. Smith would be in the rotation once he's healthy, but is not worth owning in most leagues.

Greg Smith (knee) has resumed practicing and could return to action vs. New York on Friday. Smith has appeared in just eight games this season, as he's been unable to shake his knee injuries. Even if he manages to stay on the court this time, he won't have fantasy value as long as Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones are healthy.

Greg Smith (knee) will not play against the Pelicans on Saturday. He's been dealing with knee and quad issues over the past week and has no timetable to return. Smith was the backup center for the Rockets, so this will put more on Terrence Jones' plate tonight. Jones is worth owning in all leagues.

Greg Smith (knee) will not play against the Spurs on Christmas Day. Smith had been in line for some playing time if Omer Asik had been traded, but since a trade never came to fruition, fantasy owners can go back to forgetting about the now-injured Smith. Terrence Jones should continue to see more minutes at center as long as Asik (thigh) and Smith are out.

Greg Smith won't play on Monday due to ongoing pain in his right quad. He's hoping to return for Wednesday's road game vs. the Spurs. Fantasy owners can safely ignore him, as he's scored double-digit points just once all season and hasn't been able to stay healthy.

Greg Smith suffered a knee injury in the first half of Saturday's game against the Pistons and will not return. It's an injury to his right knee and the details have not emerged just yet. Smith suffered a sprained LCL last month and missed 19 games. The Rockets don't have a backup center behind Dwight Howard with Omer Asik (thigh) out due to injury and will likely have to lean a little more on Howard. Terrence Jones has received minutes at center before and that would appear to be the short-term fix for now.
