Smart (leg) is aiming to return at the end of December or beginning of January, Ben Rohrbach of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smart continues to rehab a lower left leg subluxation, which has kept him out of the lineup for nearly a calendar month. He's no longer walking with the help of crutches and it was reported last week that he'd resumed lifting weights in an attempt to strengthen the leg. Until Smart returns to practice, it's difficult to estimate when he might return, but given Thursday's timetable, he figures to be back within the next 2-to-3 weeks.
