What happened to Marcus Smart?

Marcus Smart sustained a rupture to the proximal interphalangeal joint central slip on his right hand, sidelining him since Jan. 9. While there was hope for his return this season, the Grizzlies' position far from playoff contention suggests prudence in rushing Smart back into game action.

With two years remaining on his current contract, Marcus Smart aims to leave a stronger mark in his second year with Memphis, especially after a limited appearance in just 20 games during the 2023-24 season. Despite the setback, Smart averaged 14.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.1 steals in 30.3 minutes per game.

Milwaukee Bucks standout guard Damian Lillard missed his second straight game for personal reasons, and most recently, his latest injury was due to a groin strain.

His status will be provided by the team close to the morning shootaround as the team will evaluate him further to ensure there's a low risk of re-aggravating his injury.
