Lakers' Marcus Smart: Not listed on injury report
Smart (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Smart sat out Saturday's game with a minor illness, but he'll be back in action Tuesday night, which will likely result in Jake LaRavia returning to the second unit. Smart is averaging 10.2 points, 3.4 assists, 1.1 triples and 2.2 steals per game on the season.

Smart (illness) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
After sitting out Saturday's win over the Bucks, Smart is likely to return from an illness Tuesday. The veteran guard has handled meaningful playing time this season, averaging 10.2 points, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 29.2 minutes per contest across 11 regular-season appearances.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Iffy due to illness
Smart (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Smart was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. Saturday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Smart logged 34 minutes in Friday's win over the Pelicans, recording 13 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals. Jake LaRavia and Dalton Knecht could see more run if Smart is held out with Rui Hachimura already ruled out due to a calf issue.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Out Saturday
Smart (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
After logging 34 minutes in Friday's win over New Orleans, Smart will miss the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set due to illness. With the veteran guard joining LeBron James (sciatica), Rui Hachimura (calf) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) on the sidelines, Jake LaRavia, Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht are all candidates for increased minutes, while Adou Thiero could enter the rotation. Smart's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Jazz.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Monster defensive performance
Smart logged 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven steals, six assists and four rebounds over 37 minutes during the Lakers' 121-111 win over the Hornets on Monday.
Smart connected on three three-pointers for the second time this season, but the 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year made his presence felt with seven steals, one short of his career-high eight swipes in February 2017. Smart opened the season on the bench, but he has started each of his last seven outings, averaging 11.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 steals across 30.7 minutes per game over that span.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Best scoring effort of season
Smart amassed 17 points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 victory over the Spurs.
The 17 points were a season high for Smart, as were the five boards. The veteran guard hasn't had a big role in the Lakers' offense so far, with his 7.7 field-goal attempts and 4.3 three-point attempts a game being only slightly higher than last season's shot volume, even though he's playing 8.7 more minutes a contest. However, Smart has made an impact defensively, averaging 1.6 steals a game to go along with 10.3 points, 3.4 assists, 2.3 boards and 1.0 threes.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Drops 11 in win
Smart accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 win over Miami.
Smart has been a great addition to the starting lineup with Gabe Vincent sidelined with an ankle injury, averaging 11.3 points, 4.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.3 threes made in three starts so far. Even with Jake LaRavia having phenomenal performances off the bench, Smart will likely remain in the starting lineup due to his defensive presence.

Smart (quadriceps) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
After missing the last two games due to a quadriceps injury, Smart will make his return to the floor. Over the course of the three games he's played this season, the veteran guard has averaged 7.7 points, 1.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 43.8 percent from the floor.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Expected to play
Smart (quadriceps) said he will likely play Friday against Memphis, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
After missing the past two games, Smart participated in the morning shootaround and appears on track to return despite carrying a questionable tag. Additionally, Luka Doncic (finger) may also return for the Lakers. If that happens, Smart won't have a ton of upside offensively.

Smart is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a right quadriceps strain he sustained in Sunday's win over the Kings.

Lakers' Marcus Smart: Ruled out for Monday
Smart (quadriceps) will not play Monday against Portland, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Smart is dealing with a right quadriceps contusion that he picked up Sunday against the Kings. The Lakers are already very shorthanded, leaving Austin Reaves to absorb a ton of usage. Dalton Knecht could be more involved in Monday's game with so much offensive firepower on the shelf.

Smart (leg) returned to Sunday's game against the Kings.
Smart exited the game for the locker room to have his right leg evaluated, but the issue appears to have been minor since he has returned to the game. It's a particularly positive development for the Lakers, who already lost Gabe Vincent with an ankle injury during Sunday's contest.
