Nick Smith Latest News
Best outing of season off bench
Smith totaled 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 loss to Cleveland. Smith shined off the Hornets bench in Sunday's contest, leading all second unit players in scoring, threes made and blocks in a season-best showcase. Smith set a new season-high point total, reaching double figures in scoring for the first time this year. He has connected on two or more threes in three appearances off the bench.
Back with parent
The Hornets recalled Smith from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Friday. Smith will rejoin the Hornets ahead of Friday's game against Detroit. The 20-year-old saw action in just five of the Hornets' 12 December games, averaging 4.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 11.2 minutes per contest.
Headed to G League
The Hornets assigned Smith to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Thursday. Smith tallied four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in four minutes during Charlotte's most recent outing against Houston on Monday. However, the second-year guard should receive increased playing time while in the G League.
Back from G League
Charlotte recalled Smith from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Sunday. After erupting for 33 points (11-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes in his most recent appearance in the Swarm's win over the South Bay Lakers on Thursday, Smith will return to the parent club. He's unlikely to be featured in the rotation in Monday's game against the Rockets.
Headed to G League
The Hornets assigned Smith to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday. Smith has made just two appearances for the Swarm this season. Over those two appearances, he is averaging 30.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in 33.7 minutes.
Recalled by parent club
The Hornets recalled Smith from the G League on Friday. Smith has appeared in five NBA games this season, averaging 4.6 minutes per game. He'll rejoin the NBA roster ahead of the Hornets' matchup with the Bucks on Saturday, and he could see some minutes due to Tre Mann's (back) absence.
Assigned to G League
Charlotte assigned Smith to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday. This will be Smith's first G League assignment of the season. He's hardly seen the floor for Charlotte, averaging 4.6 minutes across five appearances.
Good to go Friday
Smith (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Pacers. Smith was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness but will play through it against Indiana. Smith has averaged 3.5 points in 9.0 minutes across his two appearances this season.
Late addition to injury report
Smith is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to an illness. Despite not appearing on the previous injury reports, Smith is now in danger of missing Friday's contest due to a non-COVID illness. However, the 20-year-old's potential absence shouldn't significantly impact Charlotte's rotation, as he's totaled only 18 minutes across two appearances this season.
