Marcus Smart News
Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) is set to be re-evaluated in three weeks. It sounds like the veteran guard is making solid progress in his recovery from his injured ring finger. However, Smart will need to keep a splint on his finger for the next three weeks before being re-evaluated. Fantasy managers might want to consider looking for another option at this point in the season. There's no guarantee that Smart will return to the rotation this season with the Grizzlies well out of playoff contention.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) has sustained a severe right ring finger injury and will be sidelined for approximately six weeks. It's another significant blow to Memphis' backcourt, which also learned on Monday that they will be without superstar Ja Morant (shoulder) for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. Smart was on a heater before suffering the setback on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks, scoring at least 23 points with four three-pointers in each of his last three games. With the 29-year-old lockdown defender now sidelined likely until after the All-Star break, the Grizzlies should turn to Desmond Bane for primary ball-handling and facilitating responsibilities. Luke Kennard is also in line for more minutes at the point while Derrick Rose (hamstring) remains on the shelf.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) exited Tuesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. He didn't return. Ja Morant (shoulder) is done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) wasn't available, so Smart was expected to be a top producer for the Grizzlies on Tuesday night. He met expectations, amassing 23 points, shooting 9-for-16 from the field and 4-for-8 from deep. Unfortunately, Smart's evening ended after 21 minutes of work because of a right finger injury. Nonetheless, Memphis will have two days off before meeting the Clippers on Friday night, and depending on the severity of the injury, the 29-year-old could be out there. However, if he isn't, Desmond Bane, scoring a team-high 32 points versus the Mavs, would be a popular DFS option. Additionally, guys like Luke Kennard and Ziaire Williams, to name a few, could get more involved offensively.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. There was hope earlier this week that Smart would return, but it seems unlikely now ahead of Thursday's contest. Smart continues to deal with a left foot sprain, but hopefully can return on Saturday, assuming he's unable to go on Thursday. Vince Williams Jr. is expected to remain in the starting five if Smart misses Thursday's contest.
