Nuggets' Murray ready to rejoin forces with 2-time MVP Jokic
The Denver Nuggets' band of Jamal Murray, two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. is back togetherOCTOBER 11, 2022 • Associated Press
ISH SMITH
Paces Denver in preseason win Smith tallied 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists and three rebounds over 25 minutes Monday in a 107-105 victory versus Phoenix.
Impact Smith came off the bench to lead the Nuggets in scoring and assists in the exhibition win. The veteran point guard is on a non-guaranteed contract and is pushing to claim a roster spot, so Monday's performance could help him in that regard. Even if he does stick with Denver, Smith figures to see little regular-season action unless one of Jamal Murray (thigh) or Bones Hyland (leg) misses time.

Dealt to Denver Smith was traded to the Nuggets from the Wizards on Wednesday, along with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, in exchange for Will Barton and Monte Morris, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN report...
Impact For Denver, the motivation behind the deal appears to be ducking the luxury tax line to begin the year, as Smith's deal is fully non-guaranteed. With that in mind, it's unclear if the Nuggets plan to keep the veteran point guard, who joins his NBA-record 13th team. If he does stick around, the 33-year-old Smith will primarily compete with Bones Hyland for minutes behind Jamal Murray (knee).

Near triple-double Tuesday Smith recorded 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 victory over Minnesota.
Impact Smith continued his fine play off the bench recently by almost tallying a triple-double in the Wizards' dominating win. His fantastic performance in the passing game led the team by a wide margin and it also completely demolished his previous season high of nine. It was also the veteran's first double-double of the season.
APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Another solid performance off bench Smith posted 16 points (8-10 FG), one rebound, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 144-102 loss to Boston.
Impact Smith was efficient from the field en route to a second consecutive double-digit scoring performance off the bench. Over his last two contests, the backup point guard has averaged 14.0 points, 7.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.

Productive off bench Smith produced 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and one block over 30 minutes during Friday's 135-103 win over Dallas.
Impact Smith was one of six Wizards to score in double figures during Friday's comfortable victory, and he came within one assist of a double-double.

Leads team with 17 points in loss Smith had 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 114-102 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Smith took the lead Thursday, pacing the team in scoring with 17 points. While this was a productive night for the veteran, it certainly feels like a bit of an outlier. To put this effort in perspective, it was the first time he has scored in double-digits in his previous five outings, and his highest points total since late January. The inconsistency in both playing time and production leaves Smith as just a deeper league asset.

Plays only 14 minutes in loss Smith logged four points (2-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Friday's 100-97 loss to New York.
Impact Smith was a non-factor Friday, logging a mere 14 minutes off the bench. The Wizards have no real clear direction when it comes to their point guard situation right now, meaning Smith should have a chance to right the ship. However, he's displayed limited upside at this point in his career, and there is little reason to think he can be anything more than a streaming option for those in need of assists.

Triple-double ish Smith registered 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 133-123 win over Indiana.
Impact Smith flirted with a triple-double Sunday, fueled by a season high in rebounds and assists. The journeyman 33-year-old has never logged a triple-double, making his versatile performance in just 28 minutes Sunday a tease at what could have been. Smith's numbers have climbed across the board since being jettisoned from Charlotte, but his fantasy relevance remains hit-or-miss.

Dishes out team-high eight assists Smith finished Tuesday's 116-113 win over the Pistons with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and eight assists across 23 minutes.
Impact Smith scored in double figures for the fourth time over his last five games and dished out a team-high eight assists, tying his season high. Over his last eight appearances, the point guard has averaged 9.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 22.1 minutes per game. Smith has a stronghold on the top backup guard spot right now, but recently acquired Tomas Satoransky, who made his Wizards debut Tuesday, figures to compete for some of those minutes moving forward.

Impact Despite only playing in two games since being acquired from the Hornets, Smith has stepped up as a top distributor in Washington, recording a team-high 11 assists over his two appearances.
