Dru Smith Fantasy Stats

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (foot) is unavailable for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since April 4 due to right foot soreness. If the Heat defeat the Hornets, Smith could potentially return for Friday's game to determine the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. His unavailability won't have much fantasy relevance, as he has played a reduced role down the stretch of the 2025-26 campaign.

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He didn't play on Tuesday night against the Raptors, and it's unclear whether he will be part of the lineup for Thursday's rematch as Smith nurses a sore right foot. The 28-year-old has been highly rated by the organization, but his playing time has dried up recently. Over his last five outings, Smith has averaged just 8.4 minutes per game. Miami won't feel his absence if Smith isn't available on Thursday.

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (calf) has been upgraded to available ahead of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Smith was uncertain coming into this game due to left calf soreness that limited him to three minutes on Friday. He was able to shed the questionable tag and will suit up for Saturday's game. That is good news for the Heat, with fellow guard Davion Mitchell (illness) being ruled out for this game. The expectation is that Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis will see increased playing time on Saturday. Smith has been a viable streaming option when he's able to log in 20-plus minutes on the court. It's unclear if he'll play that much on Saturday, but it's possible with Mitchell out and Tyler Herro still limited.

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (hip) got a spot start on Saturday but was listed as questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal contest with the Magic. Smith was upgraded to available, but he'll likely return to the bench with Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) ready to return after missing Saturday's game. In his start, Smith only managed four points and two assists in 19 minutes in the Heat's loss, but he'll look to be productive as he returns to the second unit against the Magic. The 27-year-old has flashed some upside off the bench, but with Miami likely leaning more heavily on its starters, his role will likely be limited in Tuesday's matchup.

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup clash against the Orlando Magic. He didn't practice on Monday and could miss the big matchup due to a left hip contusion. Smith was a starter for Miami last time out against the Sacramento Kings. However, with Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) on track to return to the lineup on Tuesday, Smith's role will be very different if he gets cleared for action. Pelle Larsson (hip), who is also expected to return on Tuesday, could play a few extra minutes in Smith's absence.

Miami Heat shooting guard Dru Smith (hip) is set to suit up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Smith has been dealing with a left hip contusion, but he has yet to miss a game this season. The 27-year-old is averaging 6.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 16.8 minutes across 18 games. He will continue to have a limited role in the Heat's rotation and will likely not factor in fantasy basketball this evening.

Miami Heat shooting guard Dru Smith (Achilles) appears to be on track to be healthy for the start of the season. Speaking to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Smith said his rehab has been "going really well" and that he's "been on a great trajectory." The 27-year-old, who tore his Achilles in December, has his sights set on being ready for training camp. "I think the goal, obviously, is to be ready by camp," Smith said. "And I think that as of right now, with no setback, that's kind of what we're looking at." Before getting hurt, Smith posted 6.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 19.1 minutes per game last season. He'll aim to re-establish himself as a regular in the rotation when the season kicks off.

According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, point guard Dru Smith (Achilles) agreed to a three-year, $7.9 million deal with the Miami Heat. Smith has played in 28 regular-season games across three NBA campaigns, mostly with Miami. In 2023-24, his season was cut short due to a torn ACL after just nine outings. His injury woes continued into last season as he had surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon. The 27-year-old played in 14 games, averaging 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.5 steals during 19.1 minutes per contest before suffering the injury. Once available to suit up, Smith will likely make a minimal impact on fantasy as he will have to battle for minutes with Davion Mitchell, Terry Rozier, and rookie Kasparas Jakucionis.

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (Achilles) has been ruled out for the rest of the season. He tore his left Achilles in Monday's game against Brooklyn. This is a very unfortunate blow for Smith, who had just carved out a significant role on the team for himself, averaging 29.3 minutes over a six-game stretch before Monday's action. It's made worse by the fact that Smith lost most of the 2023-24 campaign to a knee injury and also had a season-ending injury in 2021-22 in the G League. Smith notched 6.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 19.1 minutes while he was healthy this term. Rookie Pelle Larsson will likely soak in most of his minutes.

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. An MRI confirmed a third-degree ACL sprain for the 25-year-old, which was enough to keep him on the shelf. Smith had played sparingly throughout the season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.0 steals in nine games, so his absence isn't expected to impact fantasy managers in any format. That said, Smith will likely need to go under the knife, although he may be back in time for training camp next offseason.
