The Hornets assigned Smith to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith tallied four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in four minutes during Charlotte's most recent outing against Houston on Monday. However, the second-year guard should receive increased playing time while in the G League.

He's unlikely to be featured in the rotation in Monday's game against the Rockets.

Smith is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Despite not appearing on the previous injury reports, Smith is now in danger of missing Friday's contest due to a non-COVID illness. However, the 20-year-old's potential absence shouldn't significantly impact Charlotte's rotation, as he's totaled only 18 minutes across two appearances this season.

Smith (groin) recorded 14 points (4-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 25 minutes in Thursday's 121-116 loss to Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Smith missed time during the preseason due to a groin injury but got the green light to suit up Thursday. He managed to contribute across the board in the preseason finale despite struggling to find his shooting stroke. The Arkansas product's role in Charlotte's rotation is undefined heading into the 2024-25 campaign given a crowded backcourt that includes Tre Mann, Seth Curry, Vasilije Micic and KJ Simpson.

Smith (groin) didn't play in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
The Hornets said Smith would be re-evaluated for his left groin injury in one week from Oct. 6, but the team has yet to release any updates. Smith's status for the beginning of the regular season is now in question, and his next chance to suit up is Thursday's preseason finale against the Pacers.
