Smith (foot) had his $2.6 million salary for the 2026-27 season fully guaranteed by the Heat on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is coming off his best season since entering the league, averaging 5.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.3 blocks and 1.4 steals across 16.3 minutes over 70 regular-season appearances in the 2025-26 campaign. Smith isn't an efficient shooter or a reliable scoring threat, but he could continue to receive regular minutes throughout the 2026-27 campaign due to his defensive prowess, assuming he remains in Miami.

Smith (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Smith hasn't seen game action since April 4 and will be inactive to open the postseason due to right foot soreness. The guard saw his role in the rotation diminish down the stretch of the regular season, and his absence shouldn't have much impact on the Heat rotation in Tuesday's contest.

Smith has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hawks due to a right big toe sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was sidelined for the Heat's last two games due to right foot soreness, but he has since been diagnosed with a sprain in his right big toe. The injury will prevent him from playing in Sunday's regular-season finale, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament. Smith appeared in 70 regular-season games (one start) in 2025-26, averaging 5.6 points, 2.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 16.3 minutes.

Smith (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is not a rotation player for Miami, with Kasparas Jakucionis recently taking his spot in the backcourt. After appearing in 67 of Miami's first 71 regular-season games while averaging 16.8 minutes a night, Smith has played double-digit minutes only once since March 19.

Smith (foot) is out for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was added to the injury report as questionable due to a right foot issue, and while the team was optimistic about him being available Thursday, he's since been downgraded to out. He's been utilized sparingly off the bench lately, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the Miami rotation Thursday evening.

Smith (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to right foot soreness. His absence wouldn't significantly impact the rotation, though Kasparas Jakucionis could pick up a few extra minutes if Smith is ruled out.

Smith (coach's decision) went unused Sunday in the Heat's 135-118 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

After returning to the rotation for a brief three-game stretch earlier this month, Smith has now failed to get off the bench in four consecutive contests. With the Heat at close to full strength and rookie Kasparas Jakucionis having taken control of the top backup job at point guard, Smith's opportunities are likely to remain scarce over the final two weeks of the regular season.

Smith amassed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists and one block across seven minutes during Saturday's 123-122 loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has seen the floor in only three of the past four games, averaging 10.2 minutes per game during that span. Despite his defensive upside, Smith simply isn't playing enough to be trusted outside of very deep leagues. The fact that his playing time is down despite the absence of both Norman Powell (calf) and Andrew Wiggins (toe) is worrying.

Smith (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Smith drew the probable tag for Saturday's game due to a right hip contusion, and as expected, he has been given the green light to play. He has played at least 21 minutes in four of his last five outings, and over that span he has averaged 6.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.4 steals over 21.0 minutes per game.

Smith is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to a right hip contusion.

EDGE Analysis

The right hip issue is a new concern for Smith, who has seen increased playing time of late due to Norman Powell (groin) being sidelined. The probable tag suggests Smith is on track to play Saturday, though he'd likely see a dip in minutes if Powell is upgraded from questionable to available after missing the Heat's last seven games.
