Marcus Smart: Breaking News
Solid output in limited minutes
Smart (ankle) registered six points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block across 18 minutes Friday in the Lakers' 101-73 win over the Suns. Smart was able to return to action for the Lakers' penultimate game of the regular season after he had missed the team's prior nine games due to a right ankle contusion. Though Smart had been a regular starter prior to getting hurt, the Lakers deployed him off the bench Friday, likely in an effort to manage his minutes. The Lakers could keep Smart's workload in check once again in Sunday's contest versus the Jazz, but the veteran guard could move back into a 30-plus-minute starting role once the postseason gets underway and while Los Angeles remains without Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique).
Not starting in return
Smart (ankle) isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports. Smart missed the last nine games because of an ankle injury. While it's unknown how long Smart will come off the bench, Rui Hachimura will remain in the starting lineup against the Suns.
