Smart is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Magic due to right index finger partial extensor hood tear injury management.
Smart will miss the first leg of Washington's back-to-back Friday due to a right index finger issue. Bub Carrington will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Smart's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Limited to 14 minutes in return
Rotowire
Smart (illness) tallied zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four assists, one steal and one block across 14 minutes Wednesday in the Wizards' 128-112 loss to the Jazz.
Smart was back in action after missing the last two games due to an illness. Still, like most of the Wizards' other established rotation members, he had his minutes held in check as Washington prioritized opening up playing time for lesser-established players in a matchup of the teams with the two worst records in the league. Expect Smart's availability to remain sporadic for the rest of the season, making it tough to extract much value from him even in deeper fantasy leagues.

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
Smart (finger) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Smart sat out Monday's loss to the Raptors due to injury management for the right index finger partial extensor hood tear he suffered earlier in the season, but he'll be back in action for the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Bilal Coulibaly (hip) sitting out Tuesday, Smart could be a candidate to see his most extensive playing time with the Wizards to date. Through his first seven appearances with Washington, Smart has hovered between 17 and 22 minutes.

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Rough shooting performance
Rotowire
Smart contributed eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Monday's 106-90 loss to the Heat.
Smart has played in only five games for the Wizards since being traded to Washington, and the veteran journeyman has struggled to make an impact with his new team. The 30-year-old is averaging 1.4 steals per game but hasn't been a game-changer offensively with 9.0 points and 1.6 assists per contest throughout five games.

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Omitted from injury report
Rotowire

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Won't play Sunday vs. Magic
Rotowire

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Gets under 20 minutes in debut
Rotowire
Smart played 17 minutes and finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two steals, one assist and one rebound in Friday's 104-101 loss to the Bucks.
Smart and fellow trade-deadline pickup Khris Middleton both made their Wizards debuts for the team's first game out of the All-Star break, with the latter getting more minutes (25) and producing the better fantasy line (12 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals) of the two. Though Smart looks like he'll be part of the rotation when available, he'll be hard-pressed to see his minutes climb dramatically unless the Wizards are without multiple other key players. At 9-46, the Wizards aren't incentivized to open up major playing time for the 30-year-old Smart at the expense of young guards and wings like Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George.

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Debuting after All-Star break
Rotowire
Smart (recently traded) isn't expected to make his Wizards debut after the All-Star break, sources tell Josh Robbins of The Athletic.
Smart isn't dealing with an injury, but after being acquired from the Grizzlies on Thursday, the Wizards will give the veteran guard some extra time to get integrated with his new team. Smart will miss Monday's game against the Spurs and Wednesday's game against the Pacers, but he will likely be available to make his Wizards debut in a Feb. 21 matchup against the Bucks. The Wizards plan to take a similar approach with another veteran trade-deadline pickup in Khris Middleton and hold him out through the All-Star break, making it unclear at the moment how the two players will fit with the team's young core.

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Won't suit up Friday
Rotowire
Smart (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Smart will have to wait to make his Washington debut, and his next chance to feature will come Saturday against Atlanta. The veteran guard averaged 8.7 points, 3.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 21.1 minutes per game in 19 regular-season appearances with the Grizzlies.

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Traded to Washington
Rotowire
The Grizzlies traded Smart and a 2025 first-round pick to the Wizards on Thursday in exchange for two second-round picks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Smart has struggled with injuries this season, limiting him to 19 appearances with the Grizzlies. His playing time was way down as well, as Smart averaged 21.1 minutes per contest with 8.7 points, 3.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals while shooting 35.8 percent from the field and 32.2 percent from beyond the arc. In Washington, Smart could have a lot more opportunity as a leader in that backcourt, but he'll be 31 in March and the Wizards are in the early stages of a rebuild. That means player development could be their focus in the final months of the season.

Grizzlies' Marcus Smart: Unproductive in return
Rotowire
Smart (finger) recorded zero points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 138-107 victory over Toronto.
Smart made his return to action after missing the Grizzlies' last 21 games while recovering from a right index finger partial extensor hood tear. The rust was obvious, as Smart missed all six of his shot attempts in his limited role off the bench. The Grizzlies have one of the deepest rosters in the league, so it could be difficult for Smart to carve out much more playing time in future contests, even if Desmond Bane (ankle) remains sidelined.
