Misses practice Monday Smith (neck) didn't practice on Monday, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Impact Smith reportedly "tweaked" his neck, and while that doesn't sound all that severe, it's still causing the guard to miss practice two days before St. John's clash with Villanova. That certainly throws his status into question, but Smith still has time to get himself ready to go Wednesday night. The guard recently missed time with a shoulder injury, but has played in the last three games for the Johnnies.

Tough shooting in return Smith notched three points (1-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 68-66 win over Providence.

Impact While Smith has seen far better scoring days, he still provided solid ancillary production in his return from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The fifth-year senior hasn't started since Jan. 11, but his outlook remains positive even if a sixth-man role continues, as no other St. John's reserve logged more than five minutes in the contest.

Out for game Smith (shoulder) is out for the Red Storm's game Wednesday against Xavier at New York City, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact According to Kevin Connelly of FanSided.com, the Red Storm using Smith for their Saturday game at Seton Hall was a surprise. Unsurprisingly, he did not play well, having made none of his six field-goal attempts then. Smith wanted to play then and got to, but he will not be so lucky this time.

Uncertain on availability Smith (shoulder) will dress Saturday to face Seton Hall but it's uncertain if he'll play, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Smith didn't play in St. John's 63-58 win over Georgetown, and while seeing him suiting up is a step in the right direction, his availability remains uncertain. The senior guard has started in all but three of his 16 outings this season, and if he's out, then Kadary Richmond, Simeon Wilcher and Jaiden Glover would be in line to receive extended minutes.

JANUARY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtul again Smith (shoulder) is doubtful for the Red Storm's game Saturday at Seton Hall, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Smith was doubtful before the Red Storm hosted Georgetown on Tuesday. The redshirt senior did not play then, so a weekend DNP would not be surprising. Without him part of the Red Storm's starting lineup, Simeon Wilcher logged five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and two steals.

JANUARY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday night Smith (shoulder) won't play against Georgetown, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

Impact The Johnnies' starting point guard was considered doubtful, so this comes as little surprise. Smith, who's nursing a sprained shoulder, will miss his second game of the season and his first since Nov. 30. His next chance to play will come on Jan. 18 against Seton Hall.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Tuesday Smith (shoulder) is not expected to appear in Tuesday's game against Georgetown, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Head coach Rick Pitino has stated that "as of now" Deivon Smith will be inactive for Tuesday's game against the Hoyas. The 6-foot senior has seen action in 16 games this season (13 starts), averaging 10.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.9 steals on 27.8 minutes per game. If Smith is sidelined as expected, Simeon Wilcher would likely move into St. John's starting lineup.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Toss-up for Tuesday Smith told reporters that he's day-to-day and 50/50 to play Tuesday against Georgetown, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Smith's shoulder sprain isn't expected to keep him sidelined for long, but it's certainly possible that he could miss Tuesday's contest against the Hoyas. On the flip side, the guard could suit up against Georgetown just as feasibly. Smith averages 10.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists as the Johnnies' starting point guard.

Could miss next game Smith (shoulder) could miss Tuesday's game against Georgetown, but he won't be out a long time according to St. John's head coach Rick Pitino, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Smith didn't suffer a dislocated shoulder in Saturday night's win over Villanova after leaving the matchup early. The senior guard did avoid the worst and won't be out long term, but he remains a game-time decision for the Red Storm's next game.

Shoulder fine but likely out Smith reportedly didn't dislocate his shoulder after it was reported earlier that he did, but he's on the bench with a sling and appears unlikely to return, Roger Rubin of Newsday...

Impact Smith's day is done against Villanova, but the X-rays on his shoulder reportedly came back negative. He appears to have avoided the worst, but it's unclear just how healthy that shoulder is at the moment.

Suffers dislocated shoulder Smith suffered a dislocated shoulder in St. John's game against Villanova and is questionable to return, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

JANUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scoring heating up Smith has averaged 14.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.5 steals across four games since returning to the starting lineup Dec. 17.

Impact Smith's usage during non-conference play had been inconsistent at best, and he was far from the regular triple-double threat many fantasy managers thought they were getting when drafting the Utah transfer before the season. The senior now appears to be settling into his role, however, as the recent four-game stretch saw a season-high in both scoring (20) and rebounding (13) in a Dec. 28 game against Delaware. He's also attempted double-digit shots five games in a row, which is significant considering that hadn't happened, even in back-to-back contests, during the first eight games of the year. The outlook is certainly optimistic with Big East play set to enter full swing.

Impact Smith was questionable heading into the clash with Kansas State, but the guard played a solid amount of minutes and contributed for the Johnnies in their big win over Jerome Tang's Wildcats. His shot wasn't at its best (2-for-6 from the field), but he didn't play with any kind of a restriction and should be good to go moving forward.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Benched by players' decision Smith did not play in Saturday's game against Harvard due to the players' decision, Jaden Daly of US Basketball Writers Association reports.

As long as there aren't extenuating, unreported circumstances, look for him to be one of the first off the bench.
