Won't play in Game 2 vs. Indiana Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Smith will miss a second consecutive game due to a sprained left ankle. The absence of the rookie forward shouldn't have a significant impact on Milwaukee in Game 2, as he averaged 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds per game across 5.3 minutes per contest during the regular season.

Won't play Saturday Smith is out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Smith logged 30 minutes in Milwaukee's regular-season finale but will sit out Saturday's playoff opener due to an ankle injury. Smith is unlikely to crack the Bucks' playoff rotation, even when available.

Caps rookie season in style Smith accumulated 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 140-133 overtime victory over the Pistons.

Impact There was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale, so Smith saw a significant workload for only the second time in his brief career and produced career highs in points and made three-pointers. The 2024 second-round pick should return to his spot at the end of the bench when the Bucks begin their playoff run Saturday in Indiana.

Fades injury report Smith (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Smith missed the Bucks' last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he appears to be on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. The Bucks are set to rest multiple rotational players due to being locked in as the No. 5 seed in the East, so Smith figures to see a good chunk of playing time after not being a part of the rotation for much of the season.

Gets garbage-time run Smith played the final 3:21 of Thursday's 118-89 win over the Lakers, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one foul and no other statistics.

Impact Smith had missed two straight games last week due to back spasms, but he was cleared to play ahead of Saturday's 126-119 win over the Pacers. He didn't appear in that contest, but Smith has now seen garbage-time run in two of the Bucks' last three games, logging five minutes in total. Even though Bobby Portis (suspension) won't be eligible to play until April 8 and Jericho Sims (thumb) is out for the remainder of the regular season, the Bucks haven't opened up a spot in the rotation for Smith or another player to play backup center. Instead, head coach Doc Rivers looks like he'll continue to stagger Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo at center and run small-ball lineups when either big man is off the court.

Impact Smith missed Tuesday's game due to his back injury, and was marked doubtful coming in to Thursday before officially ruled out.

Smith's next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against the Pacers.
