Out again Saturday Smith (undisclosed) was unavailable for Saturday's loss to BYU, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.

Impact Smith missed four consecutive games due to an undisclosed injury, but he was able to return to action Thursday against Santa Clara. He drew the start but only played a season-low 13 minutes and was sidelined again Saturday. It's unclear if the two absences are related, but either way, his status for the WCC Tournament, which starts March 3, is certainly in jeopardy.

Struggles in loss Smith registered four points (2-7 FG), four rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 70-63 loss to Fresno State.

Impact Despite playing a team-high 36 minutes, Smith was only able to provide four points as he struggled to find consistency with his shot. He was able to dish out a team-high six assists but was also careless with the ball, turning it over six times. Despite his inefficiency to start the season, he's still likely to play significant minutes on a depleted Pepperdine roster.
