Impact Smith participating in Colorado's latest exhibition gives the Buffaloes a depth piece from their 2023-24 season, during which he averaged 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in 11.9 minutes across seven games. They included him serving as a key rotation piece before he went down with injury and will look to reclaim his previous role at the least.

Impact Smith has not appeared in a game since Nov. 29 and now his injury will sideline him throughout the remainder of the season. The 6-3 freshman played in seven games, averaging 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest. He'll look to get right and play his way into a rotational role for the 2024-25 campaign.
