Smith suffered a shoulder injury and will miss the rest of the 2021-22 season, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the G League and will be sidelined for the rest of the campaign. He averaged 16.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.1 minutes this season.

Smith logged 10 points (2-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's G League loss to Maine.

EDGE Analysis

Smith served in a depth role once again Thursday but still managed to score in double figures despite shooting just 22.2 percent from the floor. The 30-year-old has cooled off since averaging 33.5 points per game across his first two appearances of the regular season, but he's still posted 10-plus points in each of the first six contests.

Smith compiled 24 points (6-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's G League loss to Raptors 905.

EDGE Analysis

Smith came off the bench in Thursday's regular-season opener, but he drew the start in Saturday's matchup. Although he wasn't particularly efficient against Raptors 905, he had plenty of shot volume and finished second on the team in scoring. Regardless of his starting status, it appears as though the 30-year-old will have a prominent role for the Mad Ants early in the regular season.

Smith tallied 43 points (15-30 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's G League loss to Raptors 905.

EDGE Analysis

Smith had spent the last several seasons overseas, but he joined the Mad Ants to begin the G League regular season Thursday. Although he came off the bench during his first appearance with the club, he was incredibly productive and should continue to see plenty of playing time if he continues to perform at a high level.

Smith agreed to a one-year deal with the Fujian Sturgeons of the Chinese Basketball Association, Jeff Greer of the Courier-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith averaged an incredible 61.2 points per game last season in China's second-tier league, but will now be jumping up to the more talented Chinese Basketball Association. Depending on how he fares with this new team, the 26-year-old could still potentially make an NBA comeback in future seasons.

Smith signed with the Turkish club Galatasaray on Tuesday, Sportando reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being selected 47th overall in the 2014 NBA Draft, Smith has played 27 games in the NBA and 47 in the D-League, but has never been able to find consistent minutes at the highest level. Despite averaging 27.8 points, 7.7 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game in the D-League last year, he'll look for more minutes and higher pay overseas next season.

Smith signed a contract with the D-League on Tuesday, Chris Reichert of Upside & Motor reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was released by the Grizzlies shortly after Christmas, and after failing to attract from an NBA squad, he'll attempt to rebuild some value in the D-League. The second-year point guard previously appeared in 15 contests for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 1.5 points in 4.4 minutes per game.

Smith was waived by Memphis Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Memphis has chosen to waive Russ Smith in favor of signing free agent Ryan Hollins. Smith has averaged 1.5 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and 0.3 steals in four minutes per game this season.

Smith was active for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Sports56WHBQ's Rob Fischer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies decided not to reassign Smith or Jarell Martin to the D-League yet, so they will offer depth on the NBA roster going forward, although neither player is likely to see major minutes.

Smith was assigned to Iowa of the NBA's D-League on Tuesday, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has yet to make a D-League appearance this season, but with minutes difficult to find on the Grizzlies, he'll head to the Energy to get consistent playing time under his belt.
