The Magic waived Smart on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Smart was unable to secure a roster spot with the Magic for the 2024-25 regular season. He's likely to suit up for Osceola in the G League as a result.

Smart signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Magic on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Smart has spent time with the Heat, Bucks and 76ers at the NBA level, and he's also a veteran in the G League. He's not expected to crack the Magic roster but should end up with Osceola in the G League.

Smart was waived from his two-way deal Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smart's two-way slot will instead be filled by Kenneth Lofton, who was recently let go by the Grizzlies. Despite Smart's two-way status, he had logged only one NBA minute this season, and he will likely remain an important piece for the 76ers' G League affiliate unless another team picks him up.

The 76ers converted Smart's Exhibit 10 deal to a two-way contract Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smart will join undrafted rookies Terquavion Smith and Azuolas Tubelis as the 76ers' three two-way players. The 24-year-old guard last saw NBA action in 2021-22, when he made 17 appearances between the Heat and Bucks and averaged 3.0 points and 1.4 rebounds in 11.8 minutes. Though he'll be eligible to suit up for at least 50 of the 76ers' 82 games while under the two-way deal, Smart is likely to see the majority of his playing time with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats.

Smart posted 23 points (9-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt), nine assists, three steals and two rebounds in 28 minutes during Sunday's 117-114 Summer League win over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Smart was efficient from the field and posted team highs in assists and rebounds. Across his first four matchups in Vegas, the undrafted product out of LSU averaged 14.8 points and 5.3 assists in 27.9 minutes per game, and Smart's performance Sunday will only boost those numbers.

Smart recorded 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Monday's win over Mexico City.
EDGE Analysis
Smart didn't have his best shooting performance and struggled from deep, but he still ended up as one of five Birmingham players that scored in double digits in this one. Smart has made 30 appearances for the Squadron in the regular season and is averaging 14.0 points per game.

Smart delivered eight points (3-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 24 minutes in Monday's win over Iowa.
EDGE Analysis
Smart had a rough outing from the field and ended with more shots (12) than points scored (eight). The shooting woes are real for the former Louisiana State standout, and he has shot less than 40 percent from the field in each of his last four appearances.

Smart recorded 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt), four rebounds and an assist across 33 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's loss to the Hustle.
EDGE Analysis
Smart finally cleared the 15-point mark, something he hadn't done since scoring 22 points in a loss to Stockton back on Jan. 22, but his efforts were not enough to lift Birmingham to victory. Despite the inconsistencies and the shooting woes, Smart is averaging 14.5 points per game this season.

Smart delivered 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes off the bench in Thursday's win over Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
The Squadron delivered an improved performance compared to what they'd been doing in recent contests, and Smart was one of six players that scored in double digits in the 20-point win. Smart has been one of the most consistent offensive threats for Birmingham and is averaging 16.0 points with 2.5 rebounds per game on the season.

Smart scored 22 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go along with two rebounds, five assists and three steals across 25 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 122-104 loss to Stockton.
EDGE Analysis
Smart dazzled off the bench for the Squadron, but his efforts were not enough and Birmingham had to settle for an 18-point loss against Stockton. Smart has been one of the most reliable offensive weapons for the Squadron this season, however, and he's averaging 17.1 points per contest while starting in 11 of his 13 appearances to date.
