Smart produced 16 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Smart boosted Memphis off the bench in Sunday's high-scoring battle, leading all players on the second unit in scoring and assists behind a team-high mark from the free-throw line. Smart has tallied at least 15 points in three outings this season, adding at least five dimes in all of those contests. He has now tallied at least 10 points and five dimes in three straight appearances.

Smart (illness) logged 19 minutes off the bench and finished with six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists and two steals in Monday's 123-98 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Smart returned to action for the Grizzlies after he had missed the last four games due to an illness. Head coach Taylor Jenkins continued to deploy Smart off the bench, which had been the case in his two appearances earlier this month after he had missed the six games prior to that with a right ankle sprain. Smart opened the season on the top unit, and while he could eventually supplant rookie second-round pick Jaylen Wells in the starting five, Smart may not benefit from a major uptick in playing time while the Grizzlies regularly trot out a crowded 11-man rotation. Smart hasn't helped his cause for earning more run by shooting 32.1 percent from the field and 20 percent from downtown while averaging 7.3 points, 3.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 20.0 minutes per game over his first eight outings of the season.

Smart (illness) was not on the Grizzlies' injury report Sunday and will be available Monday against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Smart was sidelined for the Grizzlies' last four games due to an illness, but the veteran guard will return for Monday's game. Smart has played in just seven regular-season games and has averaged 7.4 points, 3.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 20.1 minutes per game.

Smart (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Taylor Jenkins said Saturday that Smart has recovered from being sick but needs to work on his conditioning before returning, per Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian. Smart's next chance to play will be Monday against the Bulls. Jaylen Wells, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard will continue to see more playing time due to Smart and Ja Morant (hip) sidelined.

Smart (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Smart has been upgraded to questionable after missing three consecutive matchups due to an illness. The veteran guard missed six straight outings due to a left ankle injury earlier in the season, and he has logged only seven regular-season appearances this year. If Smart is ruled out, Jaylen Wells and Luke Kennard are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Smart (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Smart was termed doubtful ahead of the contest, so it's no surprise to see him inactive. With John Konchar (illness) and Vince Williams (ankle) also sidelined, expect Jaylen Wells and Luke Kennard to see plenty of action. Smart's next chance to play will come Saturday at Chicago.

Smart (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

It appears that Smart will likely sit for the third game in a row as he remains under the weather. Vince Williams (ankle) is out and John Konchar (illness) is doubtful, meaning we could see a lot of Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard on Wednesday.

Smart (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Smart has struggled to stay healthy this season and will miss an eighth contest of a possible 10 since Oct. 31. His next chance to play will come against Philadelphia on Wednesday in the second half of a back-to-back set.

Smart (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Smart is in danger of missing his second straight game due to an illness. He recently made his return to game action following two weeks off due to an ankle injury, so the veteran is struggling to stay on the court. Even if he's cleared to suit up, Smart will likely operate off the bench Tuesday.

Smart (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Smart has been a mainstay on the injury report this year and will miss another matchup due to an illness. The 30-year-old has struggled to begin the 2024-25 campaign, during which he's appeared in seven regular-season outings and has averaged 7.4 points, 3.7 assists and 2.6 rebounds while shooting only 30.0 percent from the field across 20.1 minutes per game. With Smart and Ja Morant (hip) ruled out, Scotty Pippen and Jaylen Wells should start in the backcourt, and Luke Kennard will likely see an uptick in playing time off the bench.
