Heat's Dru Smith: Scores nine in win
Smith amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 win over the 76ers.
Smith played 17 minutes Sunday and averages 17.1 on the season, but that number is likely to go down Monday as Miami prepares for Tyler Herro (ankle) to make his season debut. Smith averaged 6.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.2 blocks in those minutes, so he could still have a place within the rotation.

Heat's Dru Smith: Steals production continues
Smith chipped in four points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 win over the Warriors.
Smith does not have a consistent role in Miami's offense but provides great value defensively, logging his sixth game with multiple steals. Through 15 games, Smith averages 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.1 blocks.

Heat's Dru Smith: Available to play
Smith (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Smith briefly popped up on the morning injury report with a probable tag, but the guard quickly got rid of it, which is a good sign that the issue was minor. He's likely to maintain his usual role as the backup point guard Wednesday.

Heat's Dru Smith: Probable for Wednesday
Smith (knee contusion) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
This sounds like a mild injury that Smith intends to play through. Miami's backup point guard holds averages of 6.1 points, 3.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals through 11 regular-season contests.

Heat's Dru Smith: Active Monday
Smith (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Smith, who was previously listed as probable due to a right knee contusion, will be available for Monday's contest. The guard is coming off his best outing of the season, posting 13 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, five rebounds and four steals in 22 minutes off the bench during Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers.

Heat's Dru Smith: Thrives off bench Saturday
Smith finished Saturday's 136-131 win over the Trail Blazers with 13 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and four steals in 22 minutes.
Smith is not known as a reliable fantasy contributor for the Heat due to his bench role, but he certainly stepped up and made his presence felt Saturday. The fourth-year guard posted season-best marks in points, rebounds, assists and steals against Portland. If he's able to build off this performance, Smith might be in line to experience an uptick in his minutes. However, he's not expected to have a significant role in fantasy as long as he continues to see limited minutes off the bench.

Heat's Dru Smith: Likely to play Monday
Smith (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Smith is managing a right knee contusion but is likely to be available for Monday's matchup. The reserve guard is coming off his best outing of the season in Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers, posting 13 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and four steals in 22 minutes.

Heat's Dru Smith: Notches six points
Smith notched six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Thursday's 107-101 loss to San Antonio.
Smith seems to be holding his own as Miami's backup point guard. Through five games, he's seeing 17.7 minutes per contest with averages of 5.8 points, 4.0 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 48.0 percent shooting from the field.

Heat's Dru Smith: Strong two-way performance
Smith had 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 146-114 victory over Memphis.
Smith tallied four combined steals and blocks, playing a handful of extra minutes as the Heat blew out the Grizzlies. Prior to his season-ending injury last season, Smith was building some nice momentum as a 3-and-D player for the Heat. While his nightly role remains unclear at this stage, he is certainly worth monitoring, in case his play forces changes to the rotation.

Heat's Dru Smith: Not starting Friday
Smith is not in the starting lineup for Friday's exhibition versus the Grizzlies, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Heat's Dru Smith: Sees 11 minutes off bench
Smith (Achilles) played 11 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 126-118 preseason loss to the Magic, finishing with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), a rebound, a steal and two blocks.
Smith made his long-awaited return from an Achilles injury in this contest. The fourth-year guard is expected to have a role off the bench for Miami after agreeing to a three-year, $7.9 million deal back in August. He averaged 6.2 points, 2.6 boards and 1.6 assists per game in 2024-25 across 14 regular-season contests.

Heat's Dru Smith: Targeting preseason return
Smith, who is recovering from a torn Achilles, said Monday that he's targeting a return in the preseason, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Smith recently began doing 5-on-5 drills and it sounds like he'll a full go in the near future. Smith agreed to a three-year, $7.9 million deal back in August, and it seems like the Heat really liked what they saw from him last season. He appeared in 14 regular-season contests with averages of 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals across 19.1 minutes per game.

Heat's Dru Smith: Inks pact with Miami
Smith (Achilles) agreed to a three-year, $7.9 million deal with the Heat on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Smith will return to Miami after spending the majority of the first three years of his career with the organization. The 27-year-old guard missed most of the 2023-24 campaign due to a torn ACL and appeared in only 14 regular-season games during the 2024-25 season before undergoing season-ending surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon in December. In those 14 appearances (one start), he averaged 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals across 19.1 minutes per game. He'll likely compete for playing time with Davion Mitchell, Kasparas Jakucionis and Terry Rozier (ankle), though it remains unclear whether Smith will be cleared to return by Opening Night.

Heat's Dru Smith: Qualifying offer extended
The Heat extended a qualifying offer to Smith (Achilles) on Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Smith, who was on a two-way contract with Miami in 2024-25, is now set to become a restricted free agent. Smith underwent surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon back in December, putting his status for Opening Night of 2025-26 in doubt. It's not a surprise that the Heat want to keep him around, however, as he was outstanding in 14 regular-season appearances with 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals on 50.8 percent shooting from the field in 19.1 minutes per contest.
