EDGE Analysis

Smart suffered the injury Dec. 21, and further testing revealed he's dealing with a partially torn tendon in his right index finger. He'll be sidelined for at least two more weeks, making the earliest date he could return Jan. 11 for a game against Minnesota. Scotty Pippen, Jaylen Wells and Luke Kennard should continue to see expanded roles in the Memphis backcourt.
